Philadelphia are 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against Phoenix.

Phoenix are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games.

The total has gone OVER in 7 of Phoenix's last 8 games.

Prediction

The Sixers have a better record on the road than at home, they're 25-11 and 21-14-1 ATS away from home but they're facing the best team in the league and potential champion. The Suns have a great record at home but they're just 18-20 ATS at home and the Sixers is not an easy team to beat. Phoenix has clinched the Best League Record so I think they can slow down a bit. Take the Sixers to cover.

PICK: 76ers +5 (-110)
