• Joel Embiid (Day-to-day): Embiid (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday’s game against the Suns.

Phoenix Suns Key Stats & Trends

The Phoenix Suns enter this contest with a slightly better record but are grappling with a more extensive injury list. In the absence of key offensive players, Dillon Brooks has stepped up admirably, leading the team in scoring with 21.0 points per game. His overall rating (21.0 PPG, 3.7 RPG, 1.8 APG, 1.1 SPG, 0.2 BPG) highlights his expanded role. Inside, Mark Williams anchors the defense and glass, averaging 8.1 rebounds. Playmaking has seen Collin Gillespie take the lead with 4.7 assists per game. However, the Suns’ offensive rhythm and depth will be severely tested by their current injury situation.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Phoenix Suns Prediction & Best Bet

Considering the significant injury challenges facing the Phoenix Suns, particularly the potential absence of offensive cornerstones Devin Booker and Jalen Green, alongside confirmed outs for Grayson Allen and Isaiah Livers, their scoring punch will be severely hampered. While Joel Embiid’s status for the 76ers remains questionable, the consistent brilliance of Tyrese Maxey (28.8 PPG, 6.9 APG) provides a potent offensive threat. Even if Embiid sits, the Sixers possess enough talent with Maxey, Paul George, and Kelly Oubre Jr. to exploit the Suns’ depleted lineup. The Suns’ reliance on Dillon Brooks for scoring, while commendable, is unlikely to be enough against a competitive 76ers squad. Therefore, our definitive prediction is that the Philadelphia 76ers will secure the victory.

Regarding the total points line of 221.5, the extensive injuries to the Suns’ primary offensive creators (Booker, Green, Allen) suggest a significant dip in their scoring output. Even if Embiid plays for the 76ers, the game tempo could be affected by his return. If he’s out, the 76ers might also play a more controlled pace. The combined offensive firepower missing points towards a lower-scoring affair. Our pick for the total points is under 221.5.
