Season Profile Comparison: Philadelphia 76ers vs Phoenix Suns
These tables are grouped to make the season profile easier to scan. Each category is anchored to two key stats, since that’s usually where you can tell which side has the cleaner path if the game follows form.
Record & Scoring
Phoenix Suns leads both win percentage (61) and point margin (1.5), a strong signal that the scoring baseline is on their side. If Philadelphia 76ers is going to swing this category, it usually needs a pace spike or a shooting night that compresses the margin fast.
| Metric | Philadelphia 76ers | Phoenix Suns |
|---|---|---|
| Record (W-L) | 45-37 | 45-37 |
| Win Percentage | 53.7 | 61 |

| Points Against | 116.1 | 111.1 |
| Points Margin | -0.2 | 1.5 |
Efficiency
Phoenix Suns leads on shooting efficiency (112.8) and field goal efficiency (53.7), and that combination often reduces volatility. If the game slows, those efficiency edges can become louder because each possession carries more weight.
| Metric | Philadelphia 76ers | Phoenix Suns |
|---|---|---|
| Field Goal % | 0.7 | 0.7 |
| Three-Point % | 0.2 | 0.3 |
| Shooting Efficiency | 110 | 112.8 |

| Free Throw % | 0.8 | 0.8 |
Tempo, Ratings & Turnovers
Phoenix Suns owns the net rating edge (1.3), while Philadelphia 76ers has the ball-security edge (13), so this category becomes a trade. In a one-game sample, turnovers can matter more than ratings if they turn into easy points going the other way.
| Metric | Philadelphia 76ers | Phoenix Suns |
|---|---|---|
| Pace | 102.3 | 100.1 |
| Net Rating | 0.5 | 1.3 |
| Offensive Rating | 112.5 | 112 |

| Turnovers Per Game | 13 | 13.5 |
Rebounding, Ball Movement & Disruption
With offensive boards and steals near even (0.3/0.3, 9.1/9.5), the edge becomes about finishing possessions—secure rebounds, smart outlets, and clean first passes. One short run created by two mistakes is often enough to win the section.
| Metric | Philadelphia 76ers | Phoenix Suns |
|---|---|---|
| Rebounds Per Game | 43.6 | 43.1 |
| Offensive Rebounds | 0.3 | 0.3 |
| Defensive Rebounds | 0.7 | 0.7 |

- Game script (pace): Philadelphia 76ers is set up to press tempo, but Phoenix Suns benefits if it can steady possessions and keep the game in the half-court. The initial pace hint tends to follows the total.
- Efficiency edge (side): On the season profile, it tilts to Phoenix Suns when the possession battle stays tidier and the glass does not leak. Those added possessions can turn the number.
- Late filters (availability + market): The last piece is who actually plays and how the spot looks, since those factors can shift the closing lineup choices. If the market has moved, let it be a cue to validate assumptions instead of pushing a stance.
