Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Points Under 220.5 – 1.67
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Three – Joel Embiid Total Over 26.5.
Match Predict – Home Win with a handicap (-5.5)
The Philadelphia 76ers have won nine of their last ten games against the Washington Wizards at home by a minimum of six points.
Total Points – Under 220.5
The teams have met twice this season. In those matches, the 220-point mark has not been broken. In addition, Unseld’s side has been unable to score even 100 points in recent games. It’s unlikely to change much now. The Sixers have an excellent defense, so it shouldn’t be a blowout meeting.
Player Total Points – Joel Embiid Total Over 26.5
Embiid is averaging 29.1 PPG and 10.8 RPG this season on 49.9% efficiency from the field. This time will be no exception and he will score almost a quarter of his team’s points.
Preliminary review and match prediction for Philadelphia 76ers vs Washington Wizards
Philadelphia 76ers:
The 76ers continued their winning streak. The day before, Doc Rivers’ men beat the Grizzlies in overtime, 122-119. Yet the Sixers played that game without Embiid. Apparently, the Cameroonian’s absence doesn’t always mean the 76ers will lose.
In the upcoming game, Embiid should be back on the court. After all, he was only given a day off. The African’s presence on the court will help Philadelphia play solid defense. He will make the team look more confident.
Washington Wizards:
The Wizards continue to fall. It looks like the Wizards will be without playoffs this season. There is no sign of things getting any better. On offense and defense, the Wizards are performing equally poorly. With a game like that, it’s hard to expect success.
Wes Unseld’s men lost their last game to the Milwaukee Bucks (98-112). That was their sixth straight defeat. The latest results dropped the Wizards to 12th place in the Eastern Conference. The last time the Wizards won nearly three weeks ago, they beat the Sixers at home (117-98).
Safe Bets
The Wizards have failed to break the 104.5 points mark in 3 of their last 4 games – 1.85.
