AccuScore’s computer simulates games 10,000 times to predict their outcome. Throughout the basketball season, we’ll be stacking up these forecasts against Las Vegas money-lines and spreads. When AccuScore gives a team a better chance to win than the money-line odds imply or suggest a high chance of covering the spread, it’s a recommended play.
Following back-to-back losses after a six-game winning streak, the Suns look to get back on track as they host the 76ers Friday night. Phoenix had eight players in double digits when they routed Philadelphia 122-96 as 9-point road favorites back in November.
AccuScore gives the Suns a 79 percent chance to win the game outright. The average score after 10,000-plus simulations is 107-97. There's a 66 percent chance the 76ers cover a +12.5 spread.
AccuScore Best Bet: There is a 59.2 percent chance the total combined score stays UNDER 209.5, a 4-star (out of four) AccuScore hot trend.
So far on the season, AccuScore is 40-24 (62.5 percent) when picking an OVER/UNDER on totals between 205.5 to 210. If bettors had placed 100 units every time AccuScore calculated value in these results, they would be +1360 units.
