Phoenix Suns vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction

The Suns are still missing Jalen Green, while the 76ers are keeping an eye on Paul George, who is listed as day to day with that knee injury. The Suns come into this contest as the team in better form, and they’ve really been flying under the radar lately despite impressive wins over the Thunder and a couple wins over the Knicks recently.

The 76ers are also coming into this meeting with some momentum, but you just never know who will sit out for them when they play their second game of a back to back set. This is a close one to call, but I am leaning towards the Suns, who represent decent value as the underdogs in this spot.
