Phoenix Suns vs Philadelphia 76ers: Current situation
Despite making it into the 2nd Round of the playoffs last season, the Phoenix Suns opted for a coaching change and so far it has proven to be the right now. The team is off to their best start since the 2020-21 season when they made it to the NBA Finals, only the Oklahoma City Thunder are ahead of them in the West. Superstar Kevin Durant isn’t getting any younger and at the age of 36 the Suns would be wise to try and build a winning team around him before it’s too late.
Injuries have not only decimated this season already, but also the entire career of Joel Embiid who is still without a memorable playoff run despite playing in his 9th season now. The 76ers did make it into the Playoffs last season, but they just aren’t able to break through that barrier just yet. New head coach Nick Nurse has championship experience having won the title with Toronto a few years back, but if his star players are unable to get healthy it could be a wrap for the 76ers early.
Phoenix Suns Stats & Form
Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal are off to the best start of a season since becoming teammates. The Suns are 5-1 overall and undefeated in 3 home games as they welcome the 76ers. Booker leads the team in scoring at 26.7 points per game, but it has been a total team effort by the Suns who are enjoying life under new head coach Mike Budenholzer. The team has made a valiant effort to stop opponents from scoring, that has resulted in them improving 6 spots in opponent points per game over the first 6 games this season.
Philadelphia 76ers Stats & Form
The 76ers come into tonight’s game after losing their last 2 games by double digits. And if that wasn’t enough, star center Joel Embiid got into an altercation with a reporter following the 124-107 loss to Memphis. His status is still unclear as the 76ers head out on a 3-game road trip to face the Suns and the two LA teams. The good news is Paul George is set to make his debut for the team which should be a boost for an otherwise desperate team right now.
Phoenix Suns vs Philadelphia 76ers: Head to Head
Residing in different conferences means that we get only two regular season meetings per season between these teams. The Suns hold a 75-60 edge in all time regular season games played, while over the last 2 seasons each team has won a game, interestingly on the home court every single time.
Phoenix Suns – Philadelphia 76ers Odds
If you think Paul George coming back can elevate the 76ers to an unlikely win here, 22bet is offering 3.60 odds for a road win. Backing the Suns to stay unbeaten at home gives you 1.31 odds.
The Point total has been set at 227 points, you can get 1.91 odds for either the over or the under.

Betting tip and prediction: Phoenix Suns vs Philadelphia 76ers (04.11.2024)
Phoenix opened as a 4.5 point favorite here, that line has now jumped to 7.5 points which is understandable considering the issues the 76ers are facing here. Joel Embiid has once again been ruled out, it is unclear if he will play in any of the 3 games during this upcoming road trip. Paul George is set to make his debut for the team after missing the first 5 games of the season, but inserting a 20+ point per game scorer isn’t as easy as it sounds. Phoenix has been clicking on all cylinders to start the new season, they are currently on a 4-game win streak following their home win over Portland on Saturday. Unlike the Sixers who had to travel across the country before this game, the Suns have remained in the same spot for 4 days now which will certainly be an advantage. After the incident with the reporter after their last game, the 76ers are facing a lot of negative energy and we just aren’t sure they can keep up with an in-form Suns team here. Look for the Suns to blow past the 76ers here.
