Sunday, March 27th the Philadelphia 76ers and Phoenix Suns meet for the second and final time this season. Phoenix won the initial meeting on February 8th 114-109.
Philly last played on Friday beating the Clippers 122-97 to extend their recent win streak to three games while the Suns last played Thursday becoming the first team in the association to hit 60 wins this season via their 140-130 victory versus the Nuggets.
Last season the clubs played twice with the Suns winning both contests. The Suns hold the all-time record with 72 wins in 130 matches versus the 76ers.
Philadelphia 76ers
The races in the Eastern Conference are crazy. At the top, it’s a four-horse race although it feels like some of these teams are trying to lose (more on that below).
In the middle, it’s a trio of teams fighting for fifth through seventh (Bulls, Raptors, Cavaliers) and trying to avoid the play-in which is the spot Cleveland fell into after Saturday’s matches.
Then the trio at the bottom (Nets, Hawks, Hornets) is separated by two games for eighth through 10th although the Nets are also only two games back of the reeling seventh place Cavs.
Ultimately, it feels like that quartet at the top is simply trying to jockey for position and choose their first-round opponent.
For as much as the Heat appear to be struggling — do we honestly believe this club is truly having issues playing together? I’m not so certain this isn’t a performance.
And the reason behind that is the Brooklyn Nets who technically could still finish first if they were the only team to win and all the teams ahead of them lost out. More realistically, they’ll likely remain in the play-in and land in the seventh seed.
Philly is the team tied at the top with the Heat and a win today would give them sole possession of first in the East – but as the 76ers learned in the 129-100 rout by the Nets on March 9th they might not want to face them in the first round.
Jaden Springer (groin) is downgraded to out on Sunday versus the Suns.
Phoenix Suns
Unlike the 76ers the Suns have already wrapped up the top spot in the Western Conference and the league. They’ll have home court throughout the playoffs.
Chris Paul is back for the Suns who registered their 60th win on Thursday. Now they set their sights on collecting three more victories to establish the all-time franchise record.
There isn’t much else for them to play for other than keeping their rhythm and staying healthy.
JaVale McGee (illness) is out while Cam Johnson (quad) was downgraded to out Sunday versus the 76ers. Booker is in quarantine, while Paul (thumb), Dario Saric (knee), and Frank Kaminsky (knee) are out indefinitely.

Free Philadelphia 76ers vs. Phoenix Suns NBA Prediction:
This could be a preview of the NBA Finals and as such it’s likely both sides will want the victory but also not want to expose too much outside their typical schemes in case they do meet in June.
