Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns host the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday for the first time this season.
The Phoenix Suns (5-1) are on fire heading into the third week of the season. They have won four games in a row and are 3-0 at home this season. Through six games Phoenix has played it close in nearly every game with all six games decided by 12 points or less. Phoenix takes on the Philadelphia 76ers (1-4) who have really struggled out of the gates without offseason addition Paul George and former MVP Joel Embiid. With his co-stars out of action Tyrese Maxey has done everything he can to keep Philadelphia competitive. He will have his hands full again with a very good Phoenix team led by the smoothest offensive duo in the league.

Through five games Maxey is averaging 29.8 points, 4.8 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game. He has been about all Philadelphia has to offer on the offensive end as the 26th best scoring offense and 27th in offensive rating so far this season.
Through six games last season Phoenix was 2-4 with a negative point differential. They were averaging 24.5 points per game and struggling to find rhythm on both ends of the floor without a point guard on the roster and various injuries.
This season Phoenix has a 4.0 point differential and is seventh in the league in assists per game. That has helped the Booker and Durant duo lead the way, combining for 52.5 points, 11.2 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game. Those two along with the playmaking from Tyus Jones (6.8 assists per game) and Bradley Beal (4.5 assists per game) have been the difference to start this season.
