WASHINGTON -- The Phoenix Suns and Washington Wizards have suffered surprising losses in recent games. Then again, the way theyre racking up setbacks, the shock is starting to wear off.The Suns (4-10) fell to the 76ers 120-105 Saturday night in a start-to-finish beat-down against a Philadelphia team that entered the week with one win. Now the 76ers are up to three victories as they downed the Wizards 109-102 on Wednesday.The Suns and Wizards meet Monday night at 7:00 p.m.Washington (3-9) rebounded with a victory Thursday over the New York Knicks, but momentum quickly faded. The Wizards lost 114-111 to the Heat Saturday night against a Miami team that entered 28th in the NBA in scoring.Eric Bledsoe scored 27 points against Philadelphia as Phoenix fell to 1/3 on its current six-game road trip. 76ers rookie center Joel Embiid set a career-high 26 points.You give any team confidence at home and they can get rolling, Suns coach Earl Watson said. They have a lot of confidence here. Their crowd was energetic and Embiid in limited minutes was more than effective.Its unclear what the Suns will receive from second-year guard and leading scorer Devin Booker for the remainder of this stretch because of a sprained left ankle. The perimeter threat averages 19.2 points, but had only 10 Saturday.He struggled, Watson said of Booker. He gave all he had. He knew he wanted to play because we didnt have T.J. He sacrificed his body. Thats just the type of person he is. You could see he could barely move.The Suns were without forward T.J. Warren (illness) and C Tyson Chandler (personal reasons) in Philadelphia.Miami attacked Washington off the dribble, dominated the boards 48-38 and sank 13 of 27 from beyond the 3-point arc. The Wizards faded in the second half, trailing by 17 points midway through the fourth quarter before an unsuccessful rally.Were getting beat off the dribble, (allowing) offensive rebounds and were not guarding the 3-point line, Wizards coach Scott Brooks lamented. We have to get better at playing defense. Thats the bottom line.Guards John Wall and Bradley Beal each set season-highs with 34 points, but the Heat set a season-best scoring total.They got wide open 3s, Wall said after the middle contest of a three-game homestand. They had some guys that usually dont make shots that made shots because they were basically workout shots. There was nobody there to contest them.Another defensive challenge comes against the Suns, who average 108.4 points, sixth in the NBA.Markieff Morris left in the second quarter with a sprained ankle and did not return, though was walking without an issue in the postgame locker room. Traded from Phoenix to Washington last February, Morris is hopeful to face his former team Monday. Rose Lavelle USA Jersey .

DENVER -- The Indianapolis Colts have given the Denver Broncos fits in recent years.The Colts (0-1) head into a Sunday game against the Broncos (1-0) having won eight of the past nine meetings, including three of four with Andrew Luck.The fifth-year quarterback came back impressively from a lacerated kidney that prematurely ended his 2015 season, throwing for four touchdowns and nearly 400 yards in the Colts season-opening loss to the Detroit Lions.The last couple of years they came in here and beat Denver in the playoff game and then beat us last year, Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said. Its the same team pretty much, so weve got a lot of respect for them. Offensively, they probably have as many weapons that well see all year long, and then defensively, theyll give you a lot of trouble protecting the quarterback.Said Broncos running back C.J. Anderson: They got our number, to be honest.The Colts upset the Broncos in the playoffs two years ago and ended the Broncos 7-0 run to start on Nov. 8 last season, though Denver went on to win the Super Bowl. However, it was also Lucks last game of 2015 after being hit simultaneously by two Denver defenders in the open field, injuring his kidney.Denvers hard-charging defense was at the center of the teams championship season last year, and from the looks of it, not much has changed early on this season. As the Broncos did in their Super Bowl win over Carolina, the pass rush repeatedly got to Cam Newton in a season-opening win over the Panthers, hitting, hurrying or knocking Newton down over the course of the game.Their aim is to apply similar pressure Sunday in hopes of slowing Luck, though the aggressive tactics could draw more scrutiny from the officials after linebacker Brandon Marshall and safety Darian Stewart each were hit with league-imposed fines for helmet-to-helmet collisions with Newton.We play hard, Kubiak said. Were going to continue to play hard.Colts coach Chuck Pagano said his squad knows what it is up against in trying to protect Luck from linebackers Von Miller, the Super Bowl MVP, and DeMarcus Ware.Those guys are relentless pass rushers, Pagano said. We understand exactly what we have to do to keep Andrew clean and keep him upright and give him a chance to operate.The Coolts, meanwhile, have shown some vulnerability on defense, where they have been hurt by injuries, especially in the secondary.ddddddddddddThey will be working to stall the development of Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian, who helped the Broncos win their opener in his first career start. Despite throwing a couple of interceptions, Siemian spearheaded the second-half rally that carried the Broncos past the Panthers, throwing for a score and leading a drive that Anderson finished with a short touchdown run.Were just using that as a building block and getting ready for Indy, Siemian said.Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas had some limitations in practice in the days leading up to the Indianapolis game because of a hip injury, though he was expected to play.Were going to take it a step at a time this week, Kubiak said Wednesday. We knew today we had him set for certain plays in practice, and tomorrow well pick it up, but hes on course to make it on Sunday and be ready to go.Denver wide receiver Bennie Fowler, who missed the opener last week after breaking a bone in his right elbow during a preseason game, did not practice Wednesday. Tight end Jeff Heuerman (hamstring) took part in practice in limited fashion. He did not play in the opener.The banged-up Colts listed 13 players on the injury report. Among them was cornerback Patrick Robinson, who is recovering from a concussion, and safety T.J. Green, who missed practice time this week because of a knee injury.The Colts depleted secondary also is missing cornerback Vontae Davis, who has been dealing with an ankle injury that forced him to miss the opener.Everybodys dialed in, Pagano said. Its going to be one heck of a challenge. We all know that.Its a great football team that were going to play. Weve got to handle the elements, the travel, the altitude, the time change. We all know that. But the good thing is that weve got guys in the locker room who have been down this road, they understand this. That stage and all that stuff wont be too big for them. Weve got to do a great job of preparing and getting these guys ready to go in all three phases. ' ' '
