Philadelphia 76ers vs Phoenix Suns Prediction: Combined starting 5 featuring Joel Embiid and Devin Booker

Small Forward - Tobias Harris (Philadelphia 76ers)

Tobias Harris (#12) of the Philadelphia 76ers.

Tobias Harris is arguably having the greatest season of his 10-year NBA career. The Philadelphia 76ers' forward has always been talented, but has found stability at his latest team in the competition.

In 23 games this season, Harris is averaging 20 points, seven rebounds and three assists per game, while being the third option in offense. Moreover, he has made 51% of his field goals, 42% of his three-pointers and 89% of his free throws.

Harris has a chance to join the 50/40/90 club if he keeps up his tremendous shooting form for the rest of the campaign.

Power Forward - Deandre Ayton (Phoenix Suns)

The first overall pick of the 2018 NBA Draft, Deandre Ayton has been overshadowed by Luka Doncic and Trae Young, who were selected behind him in third and fifth place respectively. However, Ayton has been solid in his NBA career, and is performing well for the Phoenix Suns.

Ayton is a double-double machine, and is averaging 14 points and 12.6 rebounds per game. He is also an efficient finisher, and has made 57% of his field-goal attempts from the field (10.7 shots per game).

Though he is not a three-point shooter, Ayton is efficient in offense; he has made 72% of his free throws.

Center - Joel Embiid (Philadelphia 76ers)

Joel Embiid (#21( of the Philadelphia 76ers

Joel Embiid is one of the strongest candidates for the 2020-21 NBA MVP award. He has been extraordinary in both offense and defense.

In his fifth season in the NBA, the Cameroonian center is posting his best numbers in almost every category.

Embiid is averaging a career-high 29.4 points per game, while posting up a 55% field-goal efficiency, the best of his career. Moreover, he has made 38% of his field goals from the three-point line, and has improved his free-throw shooting (85% right now).

He has played 21 games for the 76ers in the ongoing NBA campaign, registering 14 double-doubles. Interestingly, the Philadelphia 76ers are 17-4 this season when Embiid has played.
