Through 3 Quarters

Their last head-to-head April of last year was close, and so far it looks like that's how the Philadelphia 76ers and the Phoenix Suns will finish this one. After three quarters neither squad has the matchup in the bag, but Philadelphia leads 84-83.

The Sixers have been led by center Joel Embiid, who so far has posted a double-double on 27 points and 11 rebounds. A double-double would be Embiid's fifth in a row. One thing to keep an eye out for is Seth Curry's foul situation as he currently sits at four.

Shooting guard Devin Booker has led the way so far for Phoenix, as he has 25 points along with four boards.

What to Know

The Philadelphia 76ers haven't won a game against the Phoenix Suns since Jan. 2 of 2019, but they'll be looking to end the drought Tuesday. They will face off against one another at 7 p.m. ET at Wells Fargo Center. These two teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

The 76ers strolled past the Chicago Bulls with points to spare on Sunday, taking the matchup 119-108. It was another big night for Philadelphia's center Joel Embiid, who dropped a double-double on 40 points and ten boards. That makes it four consecutive games in which Embiid has had at least ten rebounds.

Meanwhile, Phoenix came out on top in a nail-biter against Chicago on Monday, sneaking past 127-124. Phoenix's shooting guard Devin Booker did his thing and shot 5-for-10 from beyond the arc and finished with 38 points and five dimes.

Philadelphia is expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten the Washington Wizards Feb. 2 easily too and instead slipped up with a 106-103. In other words, don't count the Suns out just yet.
