Sixers @ Suns

76ers - The Sixers are struggling going 3-16 over their last 19 games and have not won consecutive games since beginning the season 3-0. They have not won a game in regulation since November 8th and have not won a game by more than one point since November 22nd. Each of the Sixers last four wins have come at home in overtime. The 76ers have lost 12 straight games on the road since winning their road opener on November 1st.

Suns - The Suns have won eight of their last ten games averaging 109.2 points per game. They are 14-4 when scoring 100+ points per game which is easy when they rank 2nd in the NBA in 9.8 three pointers made per game. Phoenix has won 13 straight at home and 20 of their last 21 when scoring 110+ points in a game. The Suns have only lost three games by double-digits including last night's 115-86 loss to the Warriors.

Key matchup:

Sixers PG Michael Carter-Williams
17.6 PPG, 7.8 APG, 5.5 RPG

Carter-Williams, 22, has been dealing with a skin infection on his knee which has kept him out of the lineup the better part of the last month. He had a strong game Saturday against the Bucks scoring 19 points and dishing out 12 assists in the 116-106 loss. In his return against Brooklyn last Friday, he scored 15 points and dished out 10 assists.

Suns PG Eric Bledsoe
18.4 PPG, 6.0 APG, 4.3 RPG

Bledsoe, 24, is the Suns leading scorer in his first season in Phoenix after spending his first three NBA seasons in Los Angeles with the Clippers. He had an off game last night scoring just seven points with no assists and no rebounds in 19 minutes. In three career games against the Sixers, he is averaging 8.3 points, 3.7 assists, and 1.3 rebounds per game.

Tip-off is slated for 9:00 pm at the US Airways Center. The game can be seen on Comcast Sportsnet and heard on 97.5 The Fanatic.
