Philadelphia 76ers vs Washington Wizards Prediction

In our best NBA betting previews, we have well documented the absence of John Wall for the Wizards, that continues to be the case but the 76ers have a concern of their own. Superstar rookie Ben Simmons is touch and go and take to the court tonight, but one thing is confirmed, and that is that Nik Stauskas is definitely out for Philly. On recent form, the 76ers have the slight edge after only a defeat to the on-song Cavs last time out ended a three-game winning streak. Philadelphia’s confidence is still high as they face a side who have lost three of their last five. The 76ers maintain a head of steam and are one of our best NBA betting tips to take a narrow win.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Washington Wizards Betting Tips

As games go, they don’t come much more evenly matched than these two. As mentioned in our preview section above, both sides have claimed eleven wins this season, but Philadelphia have a game in hand on the Wizards. The evenness of the two makes for some solid value in the outright betting markets and none more so than with Ladbrokes. Philadelphia have a better record over the last four games with three wins to the Wizards two. But more importantly was the 76ers winning streak of three in a row. Confidence will play the biggest factor in this game and Philly have that in abundance giving them the edge in a tight game. It will be narrow but a hugely entertaining spectacle as two sides expecting to be competing in the end of season play offs get it on in the City of Brotherly Love.

With so few markets running on this game, Betfair’s latest NBA odds are the best way to go for a bet of a different persuasion. The 3.5 handicap spread offers value in the 76ers favour because in the last ten games this season, Philadelphia have averaged a point per game average of five points more than their opponents (76ers 110, Wizards 105). In a game so evenly matched on the court, that statistic could easily prove to be the deciding factor in this one. Prior to the loss to the superb Cavs, the 76ers three wins in a row came by a comfortable 19, 20 and 21-point margin meaning when they win, they win big. Home advantage will also undoubtedly play into their hands making for a thrilling encounter with real value to be had on a Philly win.
