The set-up: Philadelphia has been on fire of late, but it opened up its four-game Western road-swing with a loss in Portland. Phoenix enters on top form having won four in a row, most recently a victory over the visiting Milwaukee Bucks.

The pick: Philadelphia struggled to contain Portland's outside shooting, so it'll be quick to remedy that situation here vs. the Suns. Making adjustments from game-to-game is the name of the game in the NBA to be successful. It's also a good approach to handicapping, as I've always believed that being flexible with your style/approach is the best way to earn profits over the long-term. Non-conference matchup here is going to produce more of a defensive affair than what this O/U line is trying to lead us to believe.

This is a 10* NON-CONFERENCE ULTIMATE TOTAL on the UNDER 76ers/Suns.
