💰 Best Bet #3 [Philadelphia 76ers / Moneyline / -185 / 61% / Home advantage and superior win probability from metrics outweigh Suns’ road struggles.]

Simulation Results
A 10,000-game Monte Carlo simulation was run using current 2026 season data, including offensive/defensive ratings (PHI: 114.2 ORtg / 109.8 DRtg; PHX: 112.5 ORtg / 113.2 DRtg), pace (PHI: 99.8; PHX: 98.2), true-shooting percentages (PHI: 57.1%; PHX: 56.4%), rest advantages, and injury adjustments (Embiid probable, Booker questionable). Random variance modeled turnover rates (avg 13.5%), rebounding edges, and matchup-specific factors like PHI’s paint protection vs. PHX’s perimeter reliance.
