Bradley Beal scored 25 points and Kevin Durant added 23 as the Phoenix Suns snapped a four-game losing streak with a 109-99 road victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday.
Phoenix (16-18) was relatively healthy with only Royce O'Neale (left ankle sprain) out. Philadelphia (15-19) was missing Joel Embiid (left foot sprain), Andre Drummond (left toe sprain), Kyle Lowry (right hip soreness) and KJ Martin (left foot stress reaction).
Is Joel Embiid playing tonight against the Suns? The 76ers superstar is listed as questionable on the injury report.
The Phoenix Suns are making major changes to their starting lineup for Monday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers (14-19). Bradley Beal and Jusuf Nurkic have been replaced in the starting lineup with rookie Ryan Dunn and veteran big Mason Plumlee for Monday night's game at the 76ers.
Dunn finished with 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in 27 minutes during Monday's 109-99 win over Philadelphia. Making his fifth start in the last six games, Dunn produced solid numbers in a complementary role.
Dunn is expected to start in place of Bradley Beal against the 76ers on Monday, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports. The Suns are seemingly shaking things up amid a four-game skid, moving Dunn into a starting role with Bradley Beal being slotted to the bench.
The need for reactionary thoughts intensified after the Phoenix Suns' 109-99 win over the Philadelphia 76ers that was our first look at Phoenix with a new starting lineup.
The Phoenix Suns (15-18) play the second of their three-game road trip at the Philadelphia 76ers (14-19) on Monday.
