The Philadelphia 76ers aren’t a team you should be looking to step in front of right now, as they’re playing their most consistent ball in years right now. However, the Wizards are a club that’s better than their record and they’re starting to show signs of being able to finish games. The Wizards also took the 76ers down to the wire in their season opener, losing by just six points and having a four-point lead with under four minutes left to play. The Wizards can hang in this game and there could be a lookahead spot for the 76ers with the Nets on deck. Give me the points.
