Two teams on different paths meet when the Phoenix Suns welcome the struggling Philadelphia 76ers to town.
Philadelphia is 1-4 on the year with two straight losses to Memphis (124-107) and Detroit (105-95). The 76ers are still without Joel Embiid but could get Paul George’s debut for this contest (questionable). As a result, the 76ers have relied heavily on Tyrese Maxey. Maxey has led the team in scoring four of the five games (29.8 PPG) and ranks 11th in usage rating.
The Suns are 5-1 this season with the lone loss at the Lakers (123-116) in Game 2. Phoenix has rattled off four straight wins and held three of four opponents to 105 or fewer points. Devin Booker led the Suns in scoring three straight games with 28 or more points.
With that said, let’s dive into the matchup and offer some information and possibly a sweat or two.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Bradley Beal to go Under his 25.5 PRA prop against the 76ers:
“Bradley Beal has flown under the rade for the Suns and coming off a 15-point, 7 rebound and 4 assists performance against Portland, while dealing with an elbow injury seems like a good time to fade him.
Beal has recorded 28, 25, 22, and 26 PRA through four games this season and is shooting impressive splits of 47/40/72. However, only two points of his 17.3 PPG is coming from the free-throw line and about 50% of his points are coming from three.
Both Tyus Jones and Devin Booker are primary and secondary when it comes to potential assists. Beal averages 6.8 assist chances per game and 6.5 rebound chances, so he’s not making a major dent in either.
Despite Philly’s bad defense, I think a mix of Paul George’s debut/presence and Beal’s elbow keep him Under 25.5 PRA.”
Here are the best bets our model is projecting for the Suns and the 76ers:
· Moneyline: NBC Sports finds strength in taking Phoenix on the ML (-325)
· Spread: NBC Sports has strong confidence in Phoenix on the spread
· Total: NBC Sports has low confidence towards a play on the Total UNDER 227.5 points
