The 5-0 Philadelphia 76ers are set to matchup against the 4-2 Phoenix Suns. The Suns have been one of the surprise teams early on in this NBA season. After many years of turmoil, the Suns look like a team on the rise with former Sixers assistant coach Monty Williams leading this young Phoenix roster.
Each team has one player suspended by the NBA. Deandre Ayton is suspended due to a failed drug test and Joel Embiid is suspended because of a fight with Karl-Anthony Towns.
