Washington Wizards vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction 3/26/25 NBA Picks

The Washington Wizards and the Philadelphia 76ers collide at the Wells Fargo Center on Wednesday night. Here’s a Washington Wizards vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction. This article will include a Washington Wizards vs Philadelphia 76ers Pick.

The Washington Wizards have been in a slump as they've lost seven of their last nine games overall, and they will be hoping to arrest a five-game slide after getting beaten by the Raptors in a 112-104 home defeat on Monday. Jordan Poole led the team with 23 points on eight of 13 shooting, AJ Johnson added 17 points off the bench, Alex Sarr chipped in with 16 points, five rebounds, and three blocks, while Bub Carrington tallied 15 points with 11 rebounds and six assists. As a team, the Wizards shot just 40 percent from the field and 11 of 37 from the 3-point line as they got off to a great start. They worked hard to keep pace with the Raptors in a close contest until early in the fourth quarter. The Raptors went on a pivotal 15-5 run to start to pull away. 

Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers have been in horrible form as they've lost 20 of their last 23 games overall, and they will be eager to snap a five-game losing streak after getting routed by the Pelicans in a 112-99 road defeat on Monday. Justin Edwards and Jared Butler led the team in scoring with 19 points each, while Chuma Okeke and Guerschon Yabusele each scored 12 points. As a team, the 76ers shot just 39 percent from the field and 14 of 42 from the 3-point line as they struggled to score from the start and fell behind by as many as 23 points. Before they made a late flurry of points to keep the final margin respectable. Ricky Council had a rough game as he shot just two of 11 from the field to score just eight points in 32 minutes of action. The 76ers will meet the Heat, Raptors, and Knicks after this game.

Why the Philadelphia 76ers will win

• The Wizards have lost each of their last 15 road games against Atlantic Division opponents following a loss.
• The 76ers have won each of their last eight home games against the Wizards following a loss.
• The 76ers have covered the spread in seven of their last eight night games against the Wizards following a road loss.
• The Wizards have failed to cover the spread in seven of their last eight games on the first leg of a back-to-back against Eastern Conference opponents.

Why the Washington Wizards will win

• The 76ers have lost each of their last 14 night games against Eastern Conference opponents.
• The Wizards have won six of their last eight night games against the 76ers following a home loss.
• The 76ers have failed to cover the spread in each of their last 10 games as favorites.
• The underdogs have covered the spread in 13 of the 76ers' last 15 games at Wells Fargo Center.

The Wizards are still short-handed with Marcus Smart, Khris Middleton, and Kyshawn George all out, while the 76ers have ruled out Paul George, Joel Embiid, Kelly Oubre, and Tyrese Maxey again. You really couldn't back either side with any confidence these days, but I am still a little surprised to see the 76ers open as favorites in this one. Sure, they are playing at home, but they are playing second and third-string players, which is why they've lost five in a row. The Wizards haven't been that much better, but I think they have a decent shot at pulling off the minor upset if you are looking for a value bet.
