Phoenix @ Philadelphia
Current Records: Phoenix 43-10; Philadelphia 32-21
What to Know
The Philadelphia 76ers haven’t won a game against the Phoenix Suns since Jan. 2 of 2019, but they’ll be looking to end the drought Tuesday. They will face off against one another at 7 p.m. ET at Wells Fargo Center. Both teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.
While not quite a landslide, the contest between the 76ers and the Chicago Bulls on Sunday was still a pretty decisive one as Philadelphia wrapped it up with a 119-108 victory on the road. It was another big night for the Sixers’ center Joel Embiid, who dropped a double-double on 40 points and ten boards. That makes it four consecutive games in which Embiid has had at least ten rebounds.
Meanwhile, it was a close one, but on Monday Phoenix sidestepped Chicago for a 127-124 win. Shooting guard Devin Booker continued his habit of dropping crazy stat lines, shooting 5-for-10 from downtown and finishing with 38 points and five dimes.
Philadelphia is expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten the Washington Wizards Feb. 2 easily too and instead slipped up with a 106-103. In other words, don’t count Phoenix out just yet.
