Philadelphia 76ers vs Washington Wizards Prediction
The 76ers are still missing a bunch of players including Joel Embiid, Paul George, Trendon Watford and Dominick Barlow, while the Wizards have ruled out Bilal Coulibaly. They are keeping an eye on Tre Johnson, who is questionable due to lower back soreness.
The Wizards aren’t as hopeless as they were last season, so they might not be pushovers in this matchup, but the 76ers have been one of the surprise teams in the league so far. I think they can stay hot with another win and cover at this reasonable line behind another big game from Maxey.
