Team	Moneyline	Spread	Over/Under
Philadelphia 76ers	-200	-5 (-110)	O 216.5 (-110)
Washington Wizards	+170	+5 (-110)	U 216.5 (-110)

This is going to be the first time the two teams will face off this season; they will also play on Wednesday in Philadelphia this week.

Joel Embiid is one of the best players in the league and is going to be tough for Kristaps Porzingis to defend. However, Embiid is questionable for this game due to a non-COVID illness, but he should be on the court.

James Harden has not been as aggressive shooting the ball and has instead become more of a facilitator. He has nine assists per game and needs to be more aggressive than his poor shooting numbers imply.

The Washington Wizards are not a great team, but have some talent on their roster. They are 2-1 at home this season, and that has been their saving grace. They have beaten Chicago and Detroit at home and look like a completely different team at the Capital One Arena.

The Wizards need center Porzingis to do well on the offensive board. He's averaging 2.7 offensive rebounds per game and extending possessions to lead to more points.

Venue: Capital One Arena, Washington, DC

Philadelphia 76ers vs Washington Wizards: Pick

To be considered a good team, the Wizards are going to need shooting guard Bradley Beal to be a lot more effective than he was in the last game. He averages 23 points per game against Philadelphia, which is a great sign of his offensive prowess.

The Wizards are averaging 109 points per game, so they can score the basketball. They should get to the free-throw line more than the 20 times they average per game, which is last in the NBA. So this will be an interesting game, as they should score more than 26 points per quarter.

Pick: Washington Wizards Total Over 105.5 (-125)

76ers vs Wizards: Prediction

The ability to knock down three-pointers is going to be a major difference, as Philly is fifth in the NBA with a 39.6 three-point percentage, while Washington is 22nd with 34.4.

Philly is a deep team, with no one likely to stop James Harden from controlling this game. They're one of the best defenses in the sport as well and taking on an average team should mean an easy road win for Philly to extend their winning streak.
