Today in the NBA, the Suns welcome the 76ers in what should be an entertaining match at the US Airways Center. If you plan to watch Phoenix Suns vs Philadelphia 76ers live, stream online, or on TV today then first check out our Phoenix vs Philadelphia match preview.
Phoenix Suns vs Philadelphia 76ers
The Suns go into this one with a 45% winning record, and naturally as favorites over the Philadelphia 76ers. Alvin Gentry will be sure to keep an eye on the Philadelphia streak (L 1), but the key against 76ers will be containing Andre Iguodala, Elton Brand and Andres Nocioni. The Suns point differential is -2.2 this season (good for number 19 in the NBA), but not as good as the Philadelphia 76ers’s average losing margin of -1.1 in the 2010-2011 NBA season.
Playing on the road, the 76ers will need to play to their strengths and their 12.9 turnovers per game is their strongest statistical attribute (and 5th best in the whole league in that area). Doug Collins’s team is 12-19 this season and today will hope to improve their 4-13 record away from Wachovia Center.
Phoenix have been dominating their opponents this season in the personal fouls departement, with a -1.9 personal fouls differential advantage over their opponents on average over the season. Their 39.6 field goals made average per game is 1st in the NBA, and that will be an area that Doug Collins and his coaching staff will want to balance out today if they want to dampen the Suns’ 7-6 home record.The fans in the US Airways Center are in for a treat today and if you want to join them and watch Suns vs 76ers online live streaming on NBA League Pass or on your TV – then make sure to tune in at 21:00 ET today.
