Fanduel Odds

The 76ers are terrific at home, but with the Suns playing so well lately and the Sixers not being fully healthy, I expect Phoenix to steal this game. Both Simmons and Tobias Harris are questionable, and have missed the last few games, so even if they do play they will probably be on a minutes restriction and have not played with them recently, so that is a factor. The Suns are too talented and too deep, and the Sixers best player, Joel Embiid, has a tough matchup against Ayton. Chris Paul will certainly keep the Sixers defense guessing and there is no answer for Devin Booker. It will be up to them to win this game, as the Sixers do have really good supporting defenders that I think will limit the Sun’s supporting cast, like Crowder, Bridges, Payne, and Cameron Johnson. Take the Suns Money Line and under 220.5 total points.
