The Philadelphia 76ers are the better team on paper and have the rest advantage with the Wizards on the end of a back to back. However, the 76ers continue to have issues defensively and aren’t a team I’m thrilled to back in the road favorite role. The Washington Wizards are also playing solid ball through 6 games, and their defensive effort has drastically improved from a year ago. A comfortable 76ers win wouldn’t surprise me, but I’m still grabbing the points with the Wizards.
