Wizards at 76ers picks and predictions
Prediction
76ers 124, Wizards 115
Moneyline
AVOID.
The 76ers will increase their win streak to 5 games on Monday night, but I'm not going to bet $650 to win $100. Just avoid this bet and look to the spread.
Against the spread
BET 76ERS -11.5.
The Wizards are not a good team and will likely have a top-5 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft while the 76ers are serious contenders in the Eastern Conference. Philadelphia has held their opponents to only 104.4 points per game, 4th-best in the NBA.
Washington has no answer for Embiid, like most teams in the NBA, but his results against the Wizards speak for themselves. He has had 30+ points in 4 of their last 5 meetings.
Over/Under
BET OVER 228.5 (-110).
These teams have been Over the total in 3 of their last 4 meetings. The Wizards have been Over the posted total in their last 3 games.
The Wizards also continue to lead the league in most points allowed per game on the season. So it should be a big night for anyone wearing a Philadelphia uniform on Monday night.
