00:00Those Philadelphia 76ers who won yesterday against the lowly Pacers

00:03couldn't get a better opponent today in the city with the Phoenix Suns coming to town.

00:08This line opened up overnight, Joe.

00:09Minus one point favorite towards the Sixers.

00:11Most outlets still sitting at minus one.

00:13Some have gone to minus one and a half.

00:14Some even have the Phoenix Suns as a one point favorite here.

00:18And a total of 223 and a half.

00:20Always tough to gauge when Joel Embiid plays the day before.

00:23If he's going to play today, will it matter at this point?

00:26Which way would you go, Joe?

00:27So Sixers on a back-to-back Suns here in town.

00:31What are we looking at here?

00:32Listen, the Suns here, as long as Booker is playing here.

00:37Yeah, I got no problem.

00:39I have no problem backing them at this short number.

00:42I mean, that was a great effort yesterday.

00:44But second of a back-to-back, Sixers haven't exactly been money at home in these spots here.

00:51But Paul George did sit out yesterday, right?

00:55So likely he will go today, and Embiid will likely be out.

00:59But my goodness, Phoenix has really, really been playing well here.

01:04So, and, you know, they handled easily the, what, the Brooklyn Nets?

01:08I think they're 5-2 in their last seven games.

01:11They're, this is a big, long road trip for them.

01:14They're only 2-2.

01:15But to me, I think the Suns have the edge on the glass with Mark Williams now.

01:22And it feels like, yeah, one, one and a half, Phoenix Suns could be the right side here.
