Dillon Brooks’ points prop is sitting four points below his season average of 20.9, largely because the Suns expect Jalen Green to return Tuesday against the 76ers. I think that adjustment is an overreaction. Brooks’ role on this team is still very secure, and Green is far more likely to cut into the minutes and usage of players like Collin Gillespie and Grayson Allen than Brooks. Brooks will continue to see the floor for his defense. With Joel Embiid out on the second night of a back-to-back, Philadelphia lacks a true rim protector to deter Brooks from playing bully ball on drives. Andre Drummond also plays a deep drop, which should allow Brooks to comfortably pull up for jumpers as well. I price the Over on this prop at -210.
Both teams are expected to be at or near full strength tonight, which means a high-scoring affair in Philadelphia. Jalen Green will return from a multi-week absence, and Paul George is expected to be available. Even if Joel Embiid sits out on the second leg of the back-to-back, Philly has more than enough firepower to put up points at home, and the return of Green to Phoenix's lineup should give the offense a boost.

The Phoenix Suns are the talk of the NBA following the trade deadline. With new ownership and sky-high ambitions, the Suns acquired Kevin Durant from the Brooklyn Nets in a blockbuster deal. After a disappointing playoff upset at the hands of the Dallas Mavericks last year and a slow start to the year, it looked like the sun might be finally setting on this iteration of Phoenix. That’s all changed now, with most sportsbooks having them as the presumptive favorite to get out of the West. Following the 2022-23 All-Star break, the Suns had +400 odds of winning the NBA Finals.
Durant should integrate seamlessly alongside Chris Paul and Devin Booker in a mid-range-focused offense, and Deandre Ayton will have a chance to shine as a third or fourth option when this elite guard and wing combo gets it going.
