Wizards vs. 76ers Prediction & Pick

The 76ers came back from a deficit of 20 or more points for the third time this year when Joel Embiid hit a fadeaway jumper with 1.1 seconds left to beat the Trail Blazers on Friday. Head coach Doc Rivers' fighting mentality has rubbed off on his players and has them as the current No. 3 seed in the East.

The momentum from that game should carry over in an advantageous matchup against the Wizards. Washington allows 52.3 points in the paint per away game (No. 23 in NBA) and ranks 20th in defensive efficiency. The pick-and-roll duo of Embiid and James Harden should feast around the rim tonight.

Philadelphia has won 12 of its last 14 home games against Washington, so back the 76ers here.

Final Score Prediction: Wizards: 111 | 76ers: 121

Wizards vs. 76ers Best Bet

There's a lot to like about this game turning into a shootout. Neither defense is playing well, as Philly is allowing 13.7 three-pointers in its last three games (No. 22 in NBA) and Washington is giving up an opponent shooting percentage of 49.2% over its last three games (No. 18 in NBA).

The total has hit the over in five of the Wizards' last seven games overall as well as in four of the 76ers' last five games overall. The over has also cashed in seven of the last nine matchups between Washington and Philadelphia. Sit back and root for points while these conference foes battle it out.
