76ers vs Wizards Prediction
The Wizards have gotten smoked following their other two wins this season, and they’re on the end of a back-to-back. However, the Wizards have outright won their last two games as a double-digit underdog. The 76ers should be big favorites, but they’re also still dealing with a boatload of injuries themselves and have underachieved for much of the last few weeks. I’m not laying double-digit chalk with a 76ers team that continues to come up small and is missing many rotation players. The Wizards took the 76ers to overtime earlier this month for what it’s worth. Give me the points.
