Game Prediction, Analysis and Breakdown

WASHINGTON WIZARDS VS. PHILADELPHIA 76ERS | NBA | BASKETBALL PICKS AND PREDICTIONS

Tommy d with your second Saturday nba play off game breakdown and free picks and predictions.

At 7 pm eastern time, the wizards are back in d c hosting a much needed home game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The sixers were primarily able to obtain the eastern conference number 1 seed by being the best home team in the nba this season.

They won both home games against the wiz and were 31-7 in philly during the regular season. Game 2 started off pretty close. Both teams were trading back n forth and the lead kept changing hands. Toward the end of the second, the wizards went ice cold largely due to the poor shooting of Russ Westbrook. They also struggled from the arc as a team only draining 2 of their 22 attempts!

When they’ve been favored this year, they have won the majority of their games, but failed to cover the spread, especially on the road.

The current sixers vs wizards odds in Las Vegas has philly favored by 6 points and the game total at 227.5.

The trends between these two teams are interesting. The sixers have won the last 7 games vs the wizards but are only 2-10 straight up in their last 12 in Washington DC…they won the last 2 away but clearly away from philly, they just aren’t the same team. They rank 21st in points per game average on the road yet at home they are ranked 4th!! The under has hit in 23 of the 36 philly road games this year. They play slightly better d in their away games because they don’t score as easily.

One big positive for the sixers going forward, is the offensive explosion of Ben Simmons in game 2. He still can’t shoot jump shots, but after only having 6 points in game 1, he scored 22 playing limited minutes in the home win.

The Philadelphia 76ers vs Washington wizards injury report has some additions to it. Seth curry was helped off the floor last game, and is questionable for Saturday, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him sit. It’s a sizable loss for a supporting cast member of the sixers, luckily, they have shake Milton who can come in and will have an immediate impact off the bench as a point guard.

For the wizards, Russ Westbrook left last game with an injury, but it was long over at that point, I believe he would have stayed in if the game was closer. He’s a true a competitor and gives 110% every game.

Game Prediction and Picks

My official sixers vs wizards prediction is we see a hungry Washington offense who comes out hot from tip off all the way until halftime. I expect them to exceed their first half point total in game 2, and go into the late game with a small lead of the sixers. Bradley Beal, who still scored 33 points last game even though he was only 1-6 from three, will score more than 40 tonight. Even though he’s always expensive, He should be on all of your daily fantasy rosters.

I expect Russ to play and get a triple double against the sixers. He’s due for one after falling short in the first 2 of the series.

Now for what you’ve all been waiting for… the official onlinesportsbet.com expert sixers vs wizards picks and parlays!

I’m taking the home dog here no questions asked, the wizards are one of the highest scoring teams in the league and at home their offense is even more potent.

The sixers might be satisfied up 2-0 and only try to win one of these 2 road games in Washington. They still should be able to score on the wizards easily with Washington having the 29th ranked d in the nba. But Give me the wizards +6 and wizards team total over!

My best bet parlay is to put the wizards +6 with over 227.5!!

Let’s make this money tonight baby!! Thanks for watching and come back tomorrow for these winners!!
