76ers at Wizards: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
76ers 120, Wizards 111
Money line (ML
76ERS (-190) is our play here despite the somewhat “chalky” line. Philadelphia has won five of their last six games and has been excellent against Eastern Conference opponents as of late, going 12-3 in their previous 15 games.
Washington has been playing much better as of late, winning eight of its last 12 games. However, the 76ers are a bad matchup for them. Look for Philadelphia to win rather easily on Friday evening.

Against the spread (ATS)
76ERS -4.5 (-110) is our play here despite them playing on back-to-back nights. They defeated the Bulls with ease on Thursday, winning 127-105.
Philadelphia has now covered in five of their last six games and is 20-15-2 ATS on the year. While the Wizards could certainly keep this game close, expect the 76ers to impose their will and win by near double-digits.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 234.5 (-110) is our lean despite the Wizards allowing the second-most points per game in the NBA. They are allowing nearly 120 points per game and it wouldn’t be a shock at all if the 76ers cleared that number with ease.
Still, Philadelphia has one of the better defenses in the NBA and should be able to hold Washington to around 110 points. Take the Under here with confidence.
