Wizards at 76ers picks and predictions
Prediction
76ers 111, Wizards 107
Moneyline
PASS.
There’s just no value other than maybe a sprinkle on the Wizards if Embiid sits and Beal goes off. Regardless, I’d rather play the points.
Against the spread
LEAN WIZARDS +6.5 (-105).
When the 76ers beat the Wizards Monday, they did it behind 55% shooting from the field and 40% shooting from deep.
The Sixers are not a great offensive rebounding team and should see regression in terms of their shooting splits this game. Philly was just 17-20 ATS last season as a home favorite.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 218 (-112).
Both teams rank in the bottom 10 of the league in pace (Sixers rank last), and neither team is great at rebounding either. This should be a slow-paced game without many second chances.
Also, the Sixers needed to shoot 55% from the field to put up 118 Monday. There were only 13 offensive boards in that game. Both teams also shot 40% from the field.
Regression should be expected, and considering each team’s pace of play and lack of attacking the offensive boards, scoring should be limited in this rematch.
