The Philadelphia 76ers (3-0) visit the Washington Wizards (1-2) tonight at Capital One Arena in Washington in an Eastern Conference matchup where the 76ers are looking to reinforce their early momentum and the Wizards aim to rebound.

Philadelphia enters the game undefeated, riding high after a 136-124 win last night over the Orlando Magic without Joel Embiid.

Tyrese Maxey continued his scoring surge, dropping 43 points on Monday — his second 40-point outburst of the season.

Rookie VJ Edgecombe also continues to shine, scoring 26 points on 10-of-17 shooting from the field, showcasing his athleticism with a monster block of the Magic’s Paolo Banchero. Edgecombe is averaging 26.3 points and 6.0 assists per game early in his first season, leading all rookies in both categories.

Washington, meanwhile, looks to bounce back from a blowout 139-113 loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday. The Wizards rank among the league leaders in pace (107.38), but that hasn’t translated to high offensive output. They’re averaging 116.7 points per game, while allowing 126.3 points per game — including two 130-point-plus losses.

Predictions

Philadelphia’s offensive rhythm and depth should overpower Washington’s inconsistent defense. Maxey’s scoring burst and Edgecombe’s all-around play give the 76ers too many weapons, while the Wizards’ fast pace won’t make up for their lapses on the defensive end.

Prediction: 76ers 133, Wizards 120
