Suns Fading by 8.4 Points a Game Over Their Last 10
Phoenix has gone from an even team on the season to one losing by more than a possession a night.
The Suns are being outscored by 8.4 points per game over their last 10 games. That is the number to watch as the 2025-26 season winds down.
For the season as a whole, Phoenix's point differential sits at plus-0.6 per game, through 86 games as of April 27, 2026. That is a team that has been, on balance, even with its opponents. The last 10 games look nothing like that. A swing from plus-0.6 to minus-8.4 is not noise. It means the Suns have been getting beaten by a wide margin on most nights recently, not just losing close games.
For this trend to hold, Phoenix would need its most recent form to be the truer picture of the team, with the season-long numbers reflecting an earlier stretch that no longer applies. For it to change, the Suns would need to return to something closer to their season-long differential, which would mean tightening up the games they have been losing badly and turning some of those double-digit losses back into competitive ones or wins.
Either way, the next several games will settle it. If the minus-8.4 mark keeps sliding or holds steady, the season average will keep dropping toward it. If the Suns start playing closer to their season-long form again, the last-10 number will climb back toward zero on its own.
