Washington Wizards vs Philadelphia 76ers prediction
I don’t want to back the Washington Wizards as much as the next guy, but this is a ton of points. While the 76ers are great at home and 14-7 ATS on the year, they have cooled off lately, and the Wizards hung with them a few days ago, losing by just 5 points as 10.5 point dogs. The Wizards have also covered 5 of their last 8 games, so maybe there’s some value with this team after all? It’s the points or pass for me.
