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 the debut of Paul George for this contest (doubtful). As a result, the 76ers relied heavily on Tyrese Maxey. Maxey led the team in scoring in four of the five games (29.8 PPG) and ranks 11th in usage.
The Suns are 5-1 this season with the only 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 has led the Suns in scoring three straight games with 28 or more points.

NBC Sports Betting Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Bradley Beal to go Under his 25.5 PRA prop against the 76ers:
“Bradley Beal flew down the ranks for the Suns and came off a 15-point, 7-rebound, 4-assist performance against Portland, while dealing with an elbow injury seems like a good time to fade him out.
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 come from the free throw line and about 50% of his points come 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 doesn’t make a significant dent in either.
Despite Philly’s poor defense, I think a mix of Paul George’s debut/presence and Beal’s elbow keeps him Under 25.5 PRA.”
