76ers at Wizards picks and predictionsPrediction
76ers 124, Wizards 115
PASS.
The 76ers (-190) are far too expensive to consider. However, they should come out on top with ease.
BET 76ERS -4.5 (-105).
While the Wizards’ defense has been atrocious, their offense hasn’t been much better. They rank 26th in the NBA in offensive rating and last in offensive rebounding rate, so they aren’t scoring well or getting second-chance opportunities.
Against a 76ers team sitting atop the league in offensive rating, that’s going to be a key difference. Philadelphia is 1-0 ATS on the road and ranks within the top 10 in turnover rate (first) and offensive rebounding rate (seventh).
Expect the scorching-hot road team to get it done and back 76ERS -4.5 (-105).
BET OVER 238.5 (-110).
The 76ers are 3-0 O/U, while the Wizards are 2-1 O/U. With a total of 230 or higher, the 76ers are 2-0 O/U and the Wizards are 1-0 O/U.
The pace of play is going to be a major factor, and the Wizards rank second in the league (108.00). They will want to push the tempo, and against an efficient 76ers offense, that should result in plenty of scoring. Back OVER 238.5 (-110).
