76ers at Suns picks and predictions
Prediction
Suns 115, 76ers 101
Moneyline
The Suns (-375) will cost you nearly 4 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward. The 76ers (+300) are extremely risky, though, as Philly is too banged up to trust.
PASS.
Against the spread
The SUNS -9 (-112) is worth a look as the favorite against the 76ers +9 (-108), but there is definitely some risk. Phoenix has managed to cover just once in the past 6 games, while going just 3-10 ATS in the previous 13 contests.
The Sixers have won and covered the past 2 outings, but they’ve struggled on offense, going for 109 or fewer points in 8 straight outings, and 13 of the previous 15. Phoenix will simply outscore Philly, who is not deep enough to keep up.
Over/Under
UNDER 220.5 (-110) is a strong play in the Valley of the Sun. The Under is on a 5-0-1 run for the Sixers. The defense for Philadelphia has done a great job lately, allowing 106 or fewer points in 5 of the past 6 contests.
For Phoenix, the total has ended up going low in 11 of the past 14 outings. Go low, and feel confidently in doing so.
