Wizards vs 76ers Prediction
I don’t want to lay all of these points with the 76ers as much as the next guy but they’re as healthy as they’ve been all season and need wins to improve their playoff chances. The Wizards remain in tank mode and are 32-43 ATS despite being big underdogs nightly. The 76ers are 9-1 SU and 7-3 ATS in the last 10 games against the Wizards. It’s a huge line with a 76ers team that’s been hit or miss all year. Still, I have to lay it down if forced to pick. The Wizards are terrible and don’t cover enough numbers to deserve a fair shake.
