76ers vs. Suns: Game Odds, Betting Notes & Prediction

The 76ers and the Suns will go head-to-head on Saturday night.

Coming off of a tough loss on the road against the Golden State Warriors, the Philadelphia 76ers don’t have much time to rest as they are back on the floor again on Saturday night to take on the Phoenix Suns for the second and final time this season.

When the two teams met in early November for the first time this season, the Sixers were without their star guard, James Harden. Joel Embiid made up for Harden’s absence by producing a game-high of 33 points in 36 minutes. 

The forwards Tobias Harris and Georges Niang each followed up with 21 points apiece as the Sixers found success over Devin Booker and the Suns by collecting a 100-88 victory.

With both teams dealing with key injuries and coming off of a Friday night matchup, Saturday’s game could be a tight battle between out-of-conference playoff contenders.
