Philadelphia vs Phoenix Stats

Philadelphia 76ers

The Philadelphia 76ers are struggling this season, with injuries to key players like Joel Embiid and Paul George affecting their performance. Offensively, the team ranks poorly in points per game, field goal percentage, and three-point percentage. Defensively, they are last in defensive rebounds per game. Against the Memphis Grizzlies, rookie Jared McCain and Tyrese Maxey stood out, but other players struggled. Overall, the team has a power ranking of 12 and is ranked poorly in offense and defense. They have a 1-4 record this season and need to improve in multiple areas to turn things around.

Phoenix Suns Analysis

The Phoenix Suns are off to a strong start this season with a 5-1 record and key players hitting impressive three-point percentages. They are currently ranked 6th in power rankings and boast a balanced offense and solid defense. In their recent game against the Portland Trail Blazers, the Suns showcased their scoring depth with a 103-97 win. Overall, the Suns are performing well on both ends of the court and are a force to be reckoned with in the Western Conference.

Phoenix Suns Struggle to Cover Spread Against Philadelphia 76ers Despite Lackluster Performances

Despite the Philadelphia 76ers' lackluster scoring performances and 1-4 against the spread record this season, the Phoenix Suns have also struggled with a 2-4 ATS record. Of the Suns' five wins this season, only one would cover the 7.5-point spread. While the 76ers may be lacking offensive firepower, the Suns have not demonstrated a consistent ability to blow out opponents. Although the Suns are likely to win the game, I believe the 76ers will be able to cover the spread.
