The Philadelphia 76ers are headed to Arizona to take on the Phoenix Suns on Sunday in an inter-conference matchup between two teams with championship aspirations.
After a slow start to their campaign, the 76ers have picked up steam and are showcasing why they are one of the best teams in the league. Since moving on from Ben Simmons, Philadelphia has a new superstar in James Harden, who has gelled well with Joel Embiid thus far. They are at the summit of the Eastern Conference and will be hoping to stay there until the end of the regular season.
Meanwhile, the Suns (60-14) will once again have the services of Chris Paul. Superstar Devin Booker carried the team in Paul’s absence as they aim to cement the top spot in the West. They are less than nine games ahead of the second-placed Memphis Grizzlies (52-23) and have won 30 of their 38 home games this campaign. They will look to go one step further this year and win the championship.
