The Washington Wizards and the Philadelphia 76ers collide at the Wells Fargo Center on Tuesday night. Here’s a Washington Wizards vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction. This article will include a Washington Wizards vs Philadelphia 76ers Pick.
Washington Wizards Betting Preview
The Washington Wizards have endured a horrible start to the season as they had won just two of their first 18 games before last night’s 129-126 upset win over the Bucks. CJ McCollum led the team with 28 points and five assists on 11 of 21 shooting. Marvin Bagley III added 22 points with nine rebounds on 11 of 16 shooting. Cam Whitmore scored 17 points off the bench while Jilian Champagnie provided 10 points with eight rebounds and two blocks.
As a team, the Wizards shot 52 percent from the field and 13 of 36 from the 3-point line, but this win was more about their defense and overall energy as they grabbed 15 offensive rebounds and forced the Bucks into 16 turnovers. Before they poured in 38 points in the fourth quarter to pull off the upset win at home.
Philadelphia 76ers Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers have been in a rut as they’ve lost three of their past four games and they will be hoping to bounce back after falling just short to the Hawks in a painful 142-134 double overtime loss on Sunday. Tyrese Maxey led the team with 44 points, seven rebounds, and nine assists on 14 of 31 shooting. Quentin Grimes provided the spark off the bench with 28 points, 10 rebounds, and four assists. Joel Embiid added 18 points while Paul George chipped in with 16 points, seven rebounds, and four assists.
As a team, the 76ers shot 44 percent from the field and 10 of 44 from the 3-point line as they rallied back from an eight-point deficit in the final 42.1 seconds of the fourth quarter to force overtime. However, that was only the beginning as the 76ers missed two free throws with 4.6 seconds left in overtime. This would’ve put them up by four points, but it cost them big as the 76ers allowed 16 points in the second overtime period to suffer the heartbreaking loss.

Washington Wizards vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction
The Wizards are still shorthanded with Alex Sarr, Tre Johnson and Corey Kispert all out, while the 76ers have ruled out Trendon Watford and Kelly Oubre Jr once again. The Wizards looked like a different team in last night’s dramatic win over the Bucks as they won without Sarr who has been the team’s leader in points, rebounds, and blocks. But they’re going to have to turn it around without rest against a 76ers squad coming off a painful double overtime loss.
The Wizards are capable of pulling off the upset if they played like they did last night, but that hasn’t happened too often this season. The 76ers will be itching to get back on the court and get out the bitter taste of their defeat on Sunday and I’m backing them to take out their frustration on the Wizards here.
