The Wizards have also been a buzzy franchise of late <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bulletsforever.com\/washington-wizards-news\/67226\/report-wizards-eyeing-trae-young\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">after being tied to Trae Young trade rumors<\/a>. The team has a chance to keep the spotlight on them with a win over a 76ers squad coming off arguably its worst loss of the year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Sixers were upset Monday by a Denver Nuggets team missing all five of its opening-day starters. Despite facing Jalen Pickett <a href=\"https:\/\/larrybrownsports.com\/basketball\/nuggets-spencer-jones-amazing-linkedin-post-beating-76ers\/735041\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">and active LinkedIn user Spencer Jones<\/a> instead of Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic, a complete Philly lineup lost to the undermanned Denver unit 125-124 at home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">If there were ever a game for the 76ers to be locked in against us, it\u2019s for this matchup. The contest also figures to be a classic scheduled loss for the Wiz Kids, with the team traveling to Philly on the second night of a back-to-back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Given the context, the Wizards should not win this one. That\u2019s what makes it a lot more interesting if our guys pull off a victory anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Washington Wizards will try to keep the good times rolling on the road on Wednesday against the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":522367,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3780],"tags":[7,6,682,468,53634,3892,683],"class_list":{"0":"post-522366","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-washington-wizards","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-nba","10":"tag-washington","11":"tag-washington-wizards","12":"tag-washington-wizards-game-preview","13":"tag-washingtonwizards","14":"tag-wizards"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/115853541116452837","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522366","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=522366"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522366\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/522367"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=522366"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=522366"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=522366"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
