Avoid playing them as an expensive moneyline favorite, though.<\/p>\n BET WIZARDS +12.5 (-110).<\/p>\n The Wizards have had the worst defense in the NBA for most of the season, but that crown has been given to the Utah Jazz<\/a> now. Washington has stepped up on that end of the court, allowing 117 points or fewer in 6 of its last 7 games, going 5-2 ATS in that stretch.<\/p>\n While Philadelphia is the better side, it hasn’t covered when a heavy favorite. It has gone 0-3 ATS in its previous 3 contests as a favorite, losing all of those outright, 2 of which came at home. Considering those trends, take WIZARDS +12.5 (-110).<\/p>\n BET OVER 235.5 (-105).<\/p>\n Both teams have surging offenses. The Wizards, who rank eighth in pace, have scored at least 114 points in 6 of their last 7 contests and are 20-15 O\/U on the season.<\/p>\n The 76ers are finding some rhythm with Embiid back on the court, tallying at least 130 points in 2 of their last 4 games. They are 6-2 O\/U in their last 8 performances. Back OVER 235.5 (-105).<\/p>\n For more sports betting picks and tips, check out SportsbookWire.com<\/a> and BetFTW<\/a>.<\/p>\n Follow SportsbookWire on Twitter\/X<\/a> and like us on Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n Access more NBA coverage:<\/p>\n HoopsHype<\/a> | Celtics Wire<\/a> | Nets Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Rockets Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Sixers Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Thunder Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Warriors Wire<\/a>\u00a0| LeBron Wire<\/a> |\u00a0Rookie Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0List Wire<\/a><\/p>\n Our team of savvy editors independently handpicks all recommendations.
