Kevin Durant's Phoenix Suns are set to play against Joel Embiid's Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. The Wells Fargo Center's low ticket costs, which have dropped to as low as $6, are unexpected for fans. Fans couldn't believe the cheap ticket price to see a showdown between some of the league's best players.

There is a chance that the Suns and Sixers matchup will feature several elite players. Phoenix only has forward Royce O'Neale listed as out for tonight's matchup. Their starting center, Jusuf Nurkic, will return from his three-game suspension following his altercation with Dallas Mavericks forward Naji Marshall.

For Philly, the only players listed as out are rookie Jared McCain and forward KJ Martin. McCain is recovering from a left knee meniscus surgery and Martin is dealing with a stress reaction. The team's star, Embiid, is listed as questionable due to a left foot sprain.

Kelly Oubre Jr. (left-hand sprain) and Kyle Lowry (right hip soreness) are also questionable.

With the lack of star players on the injury list, there could be a chance for fans to watch their bout for an affordable price.

However, some fans are hesitant to watch the game between Phoenix and Philadelphia despite the cheap ticket price.

"No one wants to watch NBA anymore. There’s too many stops. I don’t care if I have to only pay $6 to watch these greats," one fan said.
"Bro u can’t see s**t from there. Give me the 6 dollars to bet on the game or at a bar across the street lol," another fan said to complain at the seating location.
"Or I can see it online for free which feels like a better deal than watching from Narnia," one fan said.

Other fans trashed on both teams.

"Two dumpster fire teams. Can’t say I’m shocked," a fan said.
"Nobody wants to spend money to see kd and booker stink up the arena," another fan said.

A new-look starting lineup for Kevin Durant and the rest of the team

The Suns have slumped to the 12th spot in the Western Conference standings this season, with a poor 15-18 record. In hopes of saving the season, head coach Mike Budenholzer will reportedly slide Bradley Beal and Nurkic to the second unit.

The players who get to play with Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Tyus Jones in the starting lineup are rookie Ryan Dunn and Mason Plumlee.

NBA Insider Chris Haynes reported on Sunday about the Suns' plan. He added that there is "tension" in the locker room. According to Haynes, some players are "unsure of their roles and frustrated with how they're being used."
