The Philadelphia 76ers are talented enough to win this game, but they still have some showing and proving to do on the road, and they’ve been spotty as of late. The Phoenix Suns are just a winning machine, and that includes winning their last five games by an average of 13.2 points and winning at home by an average of 9.2 points. I can’t step in front of the Suns with a reasonable line.
