76ers at Suns: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
76ers 112, Suns 108
Money line (ML)
The Suns and 76ers have each won seven of their last 10 games. The Suns are unbeaten in their homestand so far, winning four straight. Philly, though, is not nearly the team on the road it is at home. The Sixers are 11-2 at home and only 7-6 on the road, but they have won four of their last five road games.
Phoenix fell behind big against the Milwaukee Bucks the other night and had to rally to come back and win. The Sixers haven’t lost two consecutive games in over a month. The Suns will fall this time.
Take the 76ERS (-115).

Against the spread (ATS)
The Suns have one of the league’s best ATS records at 15-9 and have managed to cover the spread in every straight-up win and failed to cover in every loss. They are 8-4 ATS at home. Philly is 5-7-1 ATS on the road but 3-1-1 in its last five road contests.
Take the 76ERS -1.5 (-105).
Over/Under (O/U)
The Suns have the fifth-lowest Over percentage in the league at 41.7% but half of their home games this season have gone Over. The two teams combine to average nearly 225 points per game and allow a combined 218 points per game. Both teams are top-10 in the league in points allowed.
This game will come up just short of the total. Take UNDER 222.5 POINTS (-110).
