We’ve got early action and a good tight game here fells. The Suns are slight favorites because they have played very well lately and they have home court advantage, while the 76ers have looked shaky on the road. It’s a 50/50 game. I like the player props on this one. I think the 76ers defense will force up a lot of tough shots and give Simmons a chance to flourish in the transition as he normally does. I anticipate Embiid to win the matchup against a younger Ayton, and for the Sixers to control the glass and out-rebound the Suns who are undersized comparatively. Take Ben Simmons over 14.5 points and Deandre Ayton under 11.5 rebounds.
