76ers at Wizards picks and predictions
Prediction
76ers 118, Wizards 108
Moneyline
Even though I anticipate the 76ers securing a win on the road Tuesday, PASS on the moneyline in this game. While I wouldn’t recommend taking the moneyline at the current odds, I’m fine taking Philadelphia to win in a parlay.
Against the spread
With how well Philadelphia has been playing recently, it’s hard not taking 76ERS -4.5 (-110) in this game. The Wizards won’t have any answers for C Joel Embiid, who has averaged 34 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game on 53.7% shooting in his last 12 games.
The 76ers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall. Meanwhile, the Wizards are 4-6 ATS in their last 10 games overall.
Over/Under
OVER 222.5 (-110) is an enticing wager as the total seems a bit low. The 76ers and the Wizards have gone Over 222.5 points in both of their previous matchups this season.
The Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between the 76ers and the Wizards in Washington while the Over is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings overall.
