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.

Philadelphia 76ers at Washington Wizards odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Philadelphia 76ers at Washington Wizards odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Philadelphia 76ers (3-4) take on the Washington Wizards (3-3) Monday at the Capital One Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the 76ers vs. Wizards odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The 76ers got off to a slow start with a 1-4 record, but they’ve been able to string together 2 straight road wins over the Chicago Bulls Friday and the Toronto Raptors Saturday.

Philadelphia has gotten improved play from G Tyrese Maxey recently as he’s converted 15-of-26 three-point attempts with an average of 29.7 points over his last 3 games.

Meanwhile, the Wizards got off to a nice 3-1 record but they’ve lost 2 straight games to the Indiana Pacers Friday and the Boston Celtics Sunday. All 3 losses by Washington this season have been by 10 or more points, including a 117-107 overtime loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers Oct. 23 where it failed to cover as a 3.5-point underdog.

Prediction

76ers 110, Wizards 103

Moneyline

AVOID.

I wouldn’t recommend taking the 76ers (-190) on the moneyline as a standalone bet at the current odds. The only way I would take Philadelphia’s moneyline is if it’s included in a parlay.

Against the spread

76ERS -4.5 (-108) is where I’m leaning despite Embiid being questionable. Philadelphia was able to defeat Toronto 112-90 as a 3.5-point underdog without Embiid on the court Friday.

Over/Under

Considering that both of these teams play at a slower pace, I’ll take UNDER 217.5 (-105). The 76ers play at the slowest pace in the NBA while the Wizards play at the 9th-slowest pace.

Philadelphia has gone Under in 6 of its last 7 games when coming off 1 day of rest. Washington has hit the Under in each of its last 5 games following an ATS loss.

Philadelphia 76ers at Washington Wizards Game 4 odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Monday’s Philadelphia 76ers at Washington Wizards Game 4 odds and lines, with NBA picks, tips and predictions.

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.

AVOID and look to the spread.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

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.

Philadelphia 76ers at Washington Wizards Game 3 odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Saturday’s Philadelphia 76ers at Washington Wizards Game 3 odds and lines, with NBA picks, tips and predictions.

The 8-seed Washington Wizards and 1-seed Philadelphia 76ers play Game 3 of their Eastern Conference first-round series Saturday at Capital One Arena. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Wizards vs. 76ers odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Wizards were roughed up in Game 2 by a 120-95 score, falling into a 2-0 series hole heading home.

To make matters worse for the Wizards, PG Russell Westbrook rolled his ankle and is a question mark for Game 3.

The 76ers were a strong 55.7% (49-for-88) from the field in Game 2. They were just 42.9% (9-for-21) from long distance, while misfiring six times on 19 free-throw attempts at 68.4%. That problem was masked by a dismal 2-for-22 shooting night from long distance for Washington. That’s just 9.1%.

76ers at Wizards: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

76ers 117, Wizards 106

Money line (ML)

The 76ers (-250) will cost you two and a half times your potential return. While they seem like a certainty to win, that’s just too much to risk for such little return. Over the long haul that’s not a winning betting strategy.

AVOID and look to the spread.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The 76ERS -6.5 (-110) are a much better play laying the 6.5 points than playing straight up, regardless of the triple-double machine Westbrook’s health status. Philly narrowly missed a cover in Game 1, but it comfortably connected for bettors of the favorite in Game 2. Expect more of the same Saturday.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 227.5 (-105) is the lean here and worth a small-unit play. The Wizards lost Westbrook to an ankle issue, and they were just awful from behind the arc in Game 2. If they do not show vast improvement, then hitting even triple digits in the score column will be a chore with or without Westbrook.

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.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

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.
