The Phoenix Suns travel to the Wells Fargo Center to battle the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night. Here’s a Phoenix Suns vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction. This article will include a Phoenix Suns vs Philadelphia 76ers Pick.
Phoenix SunsÂ
The Phoenix Suns have been in a major slump as they’ve lost seven of their last eight games and they will be hoping to arrest a four-game slide after getting thrashed by the Pacers in a 126-108 road defeat on Saturday. Kevin Durant led the team with 25 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists, Devin Booker added 20 points with eight rebounds and nine assists while Ryan Dunn chipped in with 13 points on six of 11 shooting. As a team, the Suns shot 48 percent from the field and 12 of 30 from the 3-point line as they got off to a solid start and had the scores tied up going into halftime. The Suns allowed 70 points in the second half to suffer another disappointing blowout loss on the road where they are only 5-10 on the season. Bradley Beal was playing through an injury and had a rough game of just eight points on three of 12 shooting.
Philadelphia 76ersÂ
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers have been in fine form as they’ve reeled off seven wins from their past 10 games and they will be eager to stay hot after making light work of the lowly Nets in a 123-94 road win on Saturday. Joel Embiid led the team with 28 points, 12 rebounds, and six assists, Paul George and Caleb Martin added 17 points each while Tyrese Maxey chipped in with 18 points and seven assists. As a team, the 76ers shot 51 percent from the field and 15 of 40 from the 3-point line as they dominated from the tipoff, outscoring the Nets by 64-47 in the first half. The 76ers just kept their foot on the gas right to the end to come away with the blowout win on the road. The 76ers will meet the Wizards, Pelicans, and Magic after this game.

Phoenix Suns vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction
The Suns are in full health except for Royce O’Neale who is still out, while the 76ers are keeping an eye on Joel Embiid, Kelly Oubre Jr, and Kyle Lowry who are all questionable for this one. The Suns could really do with a win to get their season back on track. The Suns have been a shell of themselves over the past two weeks, so I am looking at the 76ers to take advantage as long as they have enough healthy bodies for this one. There is a major injury cloud hanging over the 76ers, but even if Embiid isn’t able to suit up, I like the 76ers to get the win and cover at the short line behind big games from Maxey and George.
