76ers vs Wizards NBA Preview
Philadelphia has looked sharp to start the season after a disappointing campaign last year.
Nick Nurse's squad is off to a red-hot 3-0 start, highlighted by impressive wins over the Celtics and Magic.
The Sixers will be on the second night of a back-to-back, but former MVP Joel Embiid is expected to play.
Tyrese Maxey has led the charge with 34 points per game, while rookie VJ Edgecombe has been a pleasant surprise, contributing 24.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per contest.
Life hasn't been easy for Wizards fans in recent years.
Washington hasn't reached the postseason since 2021 and hasn't won a playoff series since 2017.
Brian Keffe's team is off to a sluggish 1-2 start this season.
Former Miami standout Kyshawn George has been the bright spot, leading the way with 20.3 points and 9.3 rebounds per game.
76ers vs Wizards Prediction, Betting Analysis
76ers Moneyline
We'll continue to ride with the 76ers early in the season.
Philadelphia enters this matchup relatively healthy, with Joel Embiid expected to suit up.
The 76ers are playing with a ton of momentum and should be able to outlast a below-average Wizards team that has struggled mightily on the defensive end.
Washington will have no answers for Maxey, Embiid, and the rest of the 76ers' offense.
Quentin Grimes 15+ Points
The former Houston standout enjoyed a breakout year last season.
Grimes is the Sixers' top scorer off the bench and should be able to take advantage of the Wizards' defense.
The 25-year-old has averaged 31 minutes over the first three games, which bodes well for this prop.
Our Action Pro Report projects him for 16.3 points tonight.
