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.
The 76ers (46-27) have won seven of their last 10 games. After a slow start to their campaign, they 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.
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.
