Prediction
Suns 118, 76ers 108
Moneyline (ML)
The Suns (-358) continue to be red-hot in the NBA bubble and they are big favorites over the undermanned 76ers (+275) Tuesday afternoon. Phoenix has won all six of its games in the NBA restart and is on the verge of making the play-in tournament for the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference.
Meanwhile, Philadelphia has looked awful in its return to the court and the injuries are starting to mount up. While the Suns should have no problem winning this contest, PASS on this moneyline in favor of the point spread.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The SUNS -8 (-110) open this contest as huge favorites over the 76ers (+8, -110). What is so surprising about the Suns’ hot streak is that not only have they won all six of their games, but they have covered the spread in every contest, as well.
The 76ers have covered just once in their last five games and it could get worse without Simmons and Embiid for the foreseeable future. Take the Suns to cover this monster spread and win by at least 9 points Tuesday afternoon.
Over/Under (O/U)
The Over/Under in this critical game for the Suns is set at 224.5 points. Philadelphia has allowed at least 120 points in three of their games in the bubble, while the Suns have allowed more than 113 points per game for the season.
Expect a lot of scoring in this game and for the OVER 224.5 (-110) to hit in Orlando.
