Philadelphia 76ers vs Phoenix Suns: Betting Preview
We always think it's a good idea to look at the recent head-to-head between two teams to help us identify potential outcomes and betting value. Upon doing so for this upcoming game, the data suggests that one team prefers this fixture over the other.
The Suns have won four of the last five matches, including the last three on the bounce. One of those matches was played in Philadelphia, with the Suns winning 109-99 in January last year.
In that game, Tyrese Maxey managed to score 31 points for the 76ers, while teammate Kelly Oubre Jr. managed to add a further 26 points and 11 rebounds.
The Suns didn't have their best game in terms of individual statistics, but they did enough to get the win. Bradley Beal had 25 points from the bench to lead the team, while Kevin Durant scored 23. Devin Booker - who has been exceptional this season - managed just 10 points.
It's worth noting that the only other match played in Philadelphia over the last five ended in a win for the hosts, with the 76ers winning 112-100. Will this play a role in what happens on Wednesday?
