76ers vs Suns: Predictions, picks and odds for today’s NBA game

The Philadelphia 76ers are hoping the addition of a star player to the lineup can help turn their luck around when they visit the head-turning Phoenix Suns on Monday night.

Phoenix was by far the better team earlier this year, and I’ll explain why I expect that trend to continue tonight in my 76ers vs. Suns predictions.

My best choice
Sun -7 (-105 at bet365)

My analysis

It’s hard to imagine a better start to the season for the team. Phoenix Sunswho have a 5-1 record and are undefeated at home to start the year. Devin Booker (26.7 ppg) and Kevin Durant (25.8 ppg) are healthy and playing well, putting up big numbers while playing under 40 minutes per game.

Phoenix is ​​an even more impressive team with Bradley Beal contributing another 17.3 points per game to an offense that has no shortage of threats. The Suns were especially deadly from the outside, shooting 38.2% from 3-point range while their opponents shot just 43% from the field overall.

Since we’re dealing with a small sample size, it’s important to know who these numbers are compared to. In the Suns’ case, half of their games were against strong opponents in the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers, which lends some credibility to their performances. But even their games with less strong opponents look more impressive than the match with Philadelphia 76erswho are struggling to get out of the gate this fall.

The 76ers can’t be happy with their 1-4 start this year, although that record comes with some significant caveats. Philadelphia has yet to see what their team will look like with Joel Embiid on the court and will only now have new starter Paul George ready to go Monday night.

It’s hard to imagine that George, playing for the first time this season, will be able to make a difference in today’s game. It’s unclear how well the Sixers will integrate him into their offense or how dominant he can be defensively as he enters his age-34 season.

Philadelphia needs improvement on both sides of the ball, and while George will help, he’s not going to immediately turn around a team that ranks 30th in field goal percentage allowed (49.6) and 26th in scoring percentage (107. 2 points per game) and 29th place in scoring. rebound rate (46.9%). The 76ers need drastic improvements in every aspect of the game to compete with the likes of the Suns.

Today’s line is a solid seven points, and on a neutral court I might at least be tempted to stay away from the spread. But the Suns should have no problem winning this game by a big margin at home against a Philadelphia team that is still far from full strength.

Sun -7

Less than 223.5

Tyrese Maxey under 27.5 points

While I like the Suns to win today’s game, I also think Philly’s roster change will have a clear impact on this contest and I’ll use that to build my SGP.

George’s return to the 76ers will be a boon for Philadelphia’s defense overall. This should push this game to a level that would otherwise be absolute for these teams. I combine the Under with a bet on the Suns to cover.

In addition, George will get his share of production in the 76ers’ offense. This means at least a small setback for Tyrese Maxeyaveraging 29.8 points per game. Maxi’s usage should go down a bit and I’ll take him under overall points tonight.
