The Phoenix Suns and Philadelphia 76ers have fallen way short of their preseason expectations.
Both teams have losing records going into their Monday matchup in Philadelphia. The Suns conclude their three-game road trip Tuesday against the Charlotte Hornets in the second of back-to-back.
Phoenix then starts a three-game homestand Thursday versus the Atlanta Hawks. The Suns follow that with a weekend back-to-back against the Utah Jazz and Hornets.
This is all part of a grueling 11-game stretch in a span of 19 days for Phoenix. The Suns have two back-to-backs and one day at the most between games during this run.
