Wizards vs 76ers Prediction
I guess the 76ers are getting the benefit of the doubt because they have the rest advantage, but I’m not laying points with a team that hasn’t won a game since March 16. The 76ers have won three games since February 5. The 76ers have nearly their entire roster on the injury report. While the Wizards played last night, they still play with some effort and have run into wins here and there. We saw it last night against the Pacers, where the Wizards were up 14 points in the third quarter.
This is also the last home game for the Wizards, so there should be some pride there as well. If forced to pick one of these teams, I need points attached to it. Give me the Wizards.
