The 8-seed Washington Wizards and 1-seed Philadelphia 76ers play Game 4 of their Eastern Conference first-round series Monday at Capital One Arena. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the 76ers vs. Wizards odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.
The Wizards are looking to avoid the broom in Game 4, but they have shown very little fight over the past two games. Washington was run out of its own building in Game 3, falling 132-103 as 5-point underdogs.
The 76ers shot lights out in Game 3, hitting 59% from the field, including 51.5% from behind the arc. If there was one area of concern it would be their 65% mark at the free-throw line where they went just 13-of-20.

76ers at Wizards: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
76ers 121, Wizards 105
Money line (ML)
The 76ers (-375) will cost you nearly four times your potential return as they look to complete the sweep and close out the series. That’s simply not a good bet, as certain as a Philly win straight up might be.

Against the spread (ATS)
The 76ERS -8 (-115) have easily covered the past two games, winning Game 2 by 25 points in Philly and Game 3 by 29 points in D.C. It turned out Russell Westbrook’s status, whether he played or not, was of no consequence. The same is true in this one.
The Wizards just do not have nearly enough weapons to keep the Sixers at bay. This will be another double-digit win by the 1-seed.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 229.5 (-110) is worth a small-unit play. Philadelphia has scored 120 or more points in every game in this series, and the Under cashed only in Game 2. Washington has averaged just 99.0 PPG the past two games, and another Under is in the offing before they head to the golf course.
