Philadelphia 76ers vs Washington Wizards prediction
The Philadelphia 76ers are banged up and on the end of a back to back, so this is a spot I'm not thrilled to back them in the favorite role. However, none of that probably matters when you factor in they're playing the Wizards. The Washington Wizards continue to stink up the joint defensively, and you just don't get serious vibes with them at all. The 7e6rs have their injuries, but the guys on the floor at least care and play hard. We're only laying a bucket. The 76ers beat the Wizards by 45 points back in December. I'll lay the bucket.
