Washington Wizards money line at Philadelphia 76ers
The winless Wizards are already desperate for a victory. They have been idle since Sunday and won’t lack for motivation in this early-season revenge game.
The 76ers have been the surprise talk of the league reeling off three wins to open the season, including shocking the Heat and Bulls. But the 76ers’ bubble burst in a big way during their last game, a 20-point home loss to the Warriors two days ago.
The Wizards have a far stronger backcourt with John Wall and Bradley Beal than the 76ers and a better bench. Philadelphia’s reserves are being outscored by three points a game despite the team’s early success.
It’s a plus for the Wizards that Nene is able to play, as he has been upgraded to probable after sitting out with a calf injury.
The Wizards are an emerging team that has been saddled by their traditional slow start. The 76ers have been playing way, way above their heads. I look for a correction here with the Wizards getting their first victory.
