Peter's Pick

The Suns are still missing Bradley Beal and they are keeping an eye on Devin Booker who is questionable, while the 76ers are still missing Nicolas Batum due to personal reasons. The Suns have cooled off from their hot start to the season and they will still be hurting from their loss to the Spurs, but it won't get any easier with the 76ers aiming for a fourth straight win in this one. This should be a close one, but it's hard to go past the 76ers in this spot with the Suns still missing some key players.
