One of the most interesting matches of this year's regular season will take place tonight in Arizona, the champions - by far - of the West and the entire Suns League, will welcome the Sixers who caught Miami in the first place in the ranking of the infernal East.
Drunkenly spent during the absence of leader Chris Paul for Phoenix, the team of Monty Williams held its barriers and showed that it is a well-tuned ensemble that to win one must spit blood. He has already reached 60 victories and has all the conditions to break the club's record which is 63, and they have reached 7 consecutive and 9 in the last 10. Impressive lately, Devin Booker, 49 put in the 140-130 victory over Denver and his name entered the conversation for the MVP award, even literary. McGee and Johnson are absent tonight.
On a good moon, the Sixers easily prevailed with 122-97 of the Clippers in LA, making it 2/2 in California. Harden has already managed to adapt, contributing to scoring and creating without "confusing" the others and seems to fit in well so far with the beast called Abid. 6 wins in the 8 most recent for the team of Rivers, which will try in its favorite tactics to tighten the defense to leave the basket to the attack on its super talented players.
Very big derby in Phoenix, two of the best teams in the NBA are competing and the result is definitely doubtful, with the motivation being from the Sixers. But I will go with the tighter and more compact set of the Suns, who with the return of Paul are even stronger and start from a better fate in terms of chemistry. Ace at 1,66 of Stoiximan.
