Wizards vs. 76ers Pick
Wizards vs. 76ers Spread Pick
- 76ers -13.5 (4 units)
Philadelphia is sputtering a bit and Embiid is out again after taking the floor against the Hawks on Sunday. With that said, the 76ers are facing a Washington squad playing the second game of a back-to-back and have to fly in after Monday night’s tilt. The Wizards are also minus their top scoring option in Sarr, along with two other solid options in Johnson and Kispert. Washington has been awful on the road this season and already blew their first meeting with the 76ers this season. With the Wizards’ issues defensively and missing a pair of key weapons, look for Philadelphia to come up with the home win here.
Wizards vs. 76ers Over/Under Pick
