Peter Snakebite Wright will be knocked off the top of the Premier League when he loses to Michael van Gerwen, Wayne Mardle believes. Wright currently sits in top spot as the only undefeated player in the 2016 Premier League season as he rolls into Exeter, where he will play world No 1 Van Gerwen. You can watch it live on Thursday at 7pm on Sky Sports 1 HD.Sky Sports expert Mardle has been pondering the weekly fixtures... Phil Taylor v Adrian Lewis Relive the legendary 2013 Grand Slam semi-final between Adrian Lewis and Phil Taylor Because theyve played each other so many times, they know each others game. Theyll just get on with the game because they respect each other, there wont be any silly mind games.The way Taylor played last week - how he threw, how his darts went into the board, the angle of entry - I havent seen him play so well since 2013. He was magnificent. But it was only one game, I know that.But it was the way that his darts went into the board, there was no kicking over to the right because he wasnt throwing them firmly enough. He looked like the player weve watched over the past 27 years. Once Phil gets on a roll and builds up his confidence hes a tough man to do business with.Prediction: Taylor is more likely to win this game than Lewis. Hell nick it 7-5.Dave Chisnall v James Wade James Wade will need to throw better darts than this... Last week I remember saying Adrian Lewis would out-score Wade, who would have to hit all his doubles. But Wade was the scorer and Lewis was the finisher. You just dont know what youre going to get from Wade, hes such a good player. Rule him out at your peril.But theres something about Chizzy. Hes got a knack to be mediocre then hit a really big score to turn a leg around.Last week Wade had nine darts to nick a point but couldnt. That might bother him. I think Chizzy is the better scorer and Wade wont score as well as he did last week.Prediction: Im going to go for Chizzy on the basis that Wade doesnt take out many ton-pluses (which he can do).Robert Thornton v Gary Anderson Gary Anderson is getting into the swing of things, Mardle thinks Playing Anderson is not the problem - Thornton just isnt playing well enough. There was a point in last years Premier League Darts when Kim Huybrechts was bottom but was getting 100 averages. Thornton isnt playing like that, so youre thinking theres no hope. Obviously if hes got the same attitude as me, hes got no chance!I just dont think Thornton is playing anywhere near well enough to deal with Anderson. Hes the world champ for a reason. Thornton can be a spoiler, he can pull off a shock - he beat Michael van Gerwen in the World Grand Prix final. But that was when he was playing well, and he isnt doing that now.Prediction: I can only see one winner here. Anderson. Peter Wright v Michael van Gerwen Relive Michael van Gerwens epic 123 average last week This will be match of the night if Wright plays well. Im not convinced which darts hell use. Michael will obviously play well although he wont average 123 again - it might be higher! Even if Van Gerwen averages 103 or 104 I just cant bring myself to think that hell be beaten.Prediction: Wright is quality and hes top-of-the-table - but he wont be any more after this match.Michael Smith v Raymond van Barneveld Raymond van Barneveld produced a stunning comeback from 3-0 to beat Michael Smith in the World Championship Smith will believe he can win this game. You want the real Raymond to tow the oche because, if he plays well, he wins. Smith has looked short of composure.I know he played Van Gerwen last week who averaged 123, but Smith had a mini capitulation. People will say it wont matter but, with five legs gone, he averaged 103. Three legs later he was averaging low-90s, he completely lost the plot. That wont please him.Smiths highest average has been 93 in this Premier League. Raymonds lowest has been 93.Prediction: Youve got to go for Van Barneveld on the stats, on his belief.

It has been 174 days since the Philadelphia 76ers drafted Ben Simmons with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft.Simmons donned the 76ers uniform during Summer League, but he is yet to see any playing time during the regular season after suffering a fracture to the fifth metatarsal in his right foot on the final day of training camp.Philadelphia coach Brett Brown has previously stated there is no timetable for Simmons return, but he was optimistic the star would be available in January. Today, during Philadelphias practice, Simmons appeared on the floor, free of the moon boot and shot free throws.?That is significant, Brett Brown stated with matter-of-fact emphasis.Sixers fans worldwide refuse to get ahead of themselves with excitement, but Brown believes things are finally heading in the right direction for Simmons.?He walked out on the court in sneakers and he shot free throws, Brown said. So, that is significant to me. Youre like, I got yah. Here we go.Since beginning rehab a little over two months ago, Simmons and Brown have been conducting one-on-one tutoring sessions to develop his on-court game.We took him through, Here, you got the ball, youre the point guard, said Brown. What do you see? What do you do? What do I call this? What are the reads? What can he do?On Tuesday, Brown put Simmons through his first exam.We went through that for a half an hour [Tuesday] morning.From a non-medical standpoint and just his coach, the evoluttion that he and I have been able to have in a classroom and on a court, in talking things through over the past few months, is fantastic.ddddddddddddThe 76ers have been in this situation before, with a previous high draft pick limited to the moon boot and enduring endless rehab. Joel Embiid knows the heartaches and struggles that you go through during rehab, and he understands that shooting free throws without the boot means a lot to the individual.Definitely, he said Tuesday. I asked [Simmons] the first thing when I saw it, I was like, How do you feel? You could see that smile on his face.Embiid missed two seasons before finally making it onto the NBA floor, and he is now soaking up the limelight. After seeing Simmons on the practice floor, Embiid was optimistic about a potential return.Now, you can get back on the court, you can start doing more stuff, you can start shooting. It just frees you up, and Im sure hes happy about it.I got better. Im sure hes going to get better, too.Brown is not getting ahead of himself.Were all going to be just extremely careful; everybody needs to hear that, and we know that. Were going to be extremely careful with how his progression into the team goes.No matter how you look at it, Simmons is edging closer to his first professional game of basketball and all signs are pointing up.
