PHX vs PHI Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Phoenix Suns vs Philadelphia 76ers

PHX vs PHI Dream11: NBA heads towards the Playoffs window at a steady rate and we are bound to see only more intense battles once we reach the Playoffs. But before that, we have a decent slate of games remaining and these games are no less than the Playoffs for the teams that are looking to seal a high spot in the Playoffs or are looking to sneak into the Play-in tournament. So, as we head towards the Postseason, there will be times making one last desperate dash to ensure their qualification. There is one squad that has built its superiority in the form of the Phoenix Suns will meet up-against title contenders Philadelphia 76ers.

What can you say about the Suns! They have built such a huge distance from others that even if they lose the rest of the games(they won’t), they will end up grabbing the best record in the league. They have certainly a high standard and their Guards, Forwards, and Center all look primed to make a deep postseason run.

While the 76ers aren’t as deep as the Suns, they have a huge duo in the quiver. While Harden can get the team going with his playmaking, rebounding, and scoring, Embiid provides equally impressive scoring, rebounding, and is a huge factor on the defensive end. They will surely be a force in the Playoffs and the East must be wary of them.

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Suns: The standards are too high!

The Suns have claimed 60 wins so far and they have set such a high bar that it will be difficult for a first-round team in the Playoffs to see them off. Their superiority has been a result of the well-crafted roster than was in the Finals last season. The presence of Chris Paul alone has helped transform the game-style and from being an iso-heavy squad in the past season, this team has shared the ball well, which is usually the mantra for a successful team.

Devin Booker has been not only scoring a ton of points but he has become an all-around two-way threat at this point. Mikal Bridges began the season on a bang and is also ending it on a bang, showcasing his tremendous evolution. Crowder gives toughness to the team while Deandre Ayton ceaselessly fights in the paint and has been a huge two-way factor. The Suns have their eyes set on the championship, can anyone block their vision?

76ers: In the right direction

The fall of Miami Heat has vacated a window for the 76ers from where they can end up as the top team in the Conference. They are on a three-game winning streak and a win here against the Suns can be a momentum-changer. As the team seeks glory this season, the East can’t be discounted because the Celtics, Heat, and the Bucks can all unlock a higher level of the game during the Playoffs. While the team certainly lacks bench depth and relies way too much on starters, the starting balance is impressive. With Harden and Embiid, there is no shortage of points, rebounding, and assists.

Maxey and Harris can find open lanes with these two occupying most of the defense and there is no doubt that it will be the performance from these two that can determine the 76ers’ postseason course. Matisse Thybulle will also be huge as a perimeter defender during the Playoffs. The bench lacks depth but Georges Niang has shown promise as a perimeter shooter. The 76ers will wish that both Harden and Embiid are active during the Playoffs.
