The Suns’ inability to score inside the 3 pt arc obscured Dunn’s weaknesses. Dunn fights, competes and gives everything, but he’s really not a point guard and the team needed Sanders to bail them out on several possessions to get into the offense.

This Sixers team has explosive scoring ability which yesterday’s Suns team did not (in the absence of Booker and Green). I don’t think we can get away with Dunn running the point for long stretches. Dunn will probably be out there to check Maxey and Lue is probably ok with that tradeoff, but he’ll need to show more lineup flexibility there.

Sixers are #7 in offensive rating and #19 in defensive rating, and a #12 net rating over the past 15 games. LAC is #4 offense, #17 defense, #9 overall net rating. The two teams have been performing at a more or less similar level of productivity.

Zu is probably one of the better matchups against Embiid because he generally doesn’t get baited into fouls. Let’s see if the squad can get a win at home on the second night of a back to back.
