The Phoenix Suns will look to extend their winning run against the Philadelphia 76ers
The Phoenix Suns will be hosting the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night. The 76ers have been short-handed since the start of the season as Joel Embiid is yet to appear this season. This has seemingly affected the team as they have won just one of the five matchups so far.
On the flip side, the Suns will be looking to extend their winning run. The Arizona side has lost just one of their six games. That said about the season that the two sides have had so far, let’s take a look at the injury report for the game.

The Suns have won four straight games thanks to their surprisingly elite defense. While Kevin Durant and Devin Bookers are monsters on offense, they have also managed to make an impact defensively this season.
As revealed in the latest injury report, the Suns have listed Bradley Beal as questionable. However, despite being questionable, he is expected to start the game.
Predicted Starting 5: Tyus Jones, Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant, and Jusuf Nurkic.
As mentioned earlier, the 76ers are struggling with two of their best players. The team has played without Joel Embiid and Paul George so far. However, George has now been listed as probable against the Suns and will most likely start the game as well.

The return of George should lessen the burden on Tyrese Maxey as the former Clippers man is one of the best two-way players in the league. As far as their injury report goes, Embiid is still out.
Predicted Starting 5: Tyrese Maxey, Paul George, Kelly Oubre Jr., Caleb Martin, and Andre Drummond.
