Will Philadelphia be able to take advantage of their opponent's problems and win a much-needed victory? - Find out in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Philadelphia 76ers
USACurrent form
The Sixers are trying to find balance in their game, but so far the results leave much to be desired. The team is in 11th place in the Eastern Conference and is far behind competitors who have already strengthened their position in the playoff zone. In the last match, Philadelphia lost to Phoenix (99:109), despite the excellent play of Tyrese Maxey and Kelly Oubre, who together scored 57 points.
Nick Nurse's men are showing a bright but uncoordinated game, which is why they have not been able to win consistently yet. The Sixers still have a chance to fix the situation, but to do so, they need to start winning now. The meeting with Washington is a good opportunity for rehabilitation in front of the fans.
Disqualifications and injuries
Paul George and Jared McCain will not play in the next game due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
All five of the last head-to-head matches have ended in victories for the Sixers.
Tentative lineup: Martin - Lauri, Embiid - Maxi, Oubre.
Washington Wizards
USACurrent form
The Wizards are in last place in the Eastern Conference and continue their losing streak. The team has lost three games in a row, having lost twice to New Orleans and then suffered a defeat to Houston (112:135). At the start of the last match, the capital club looked good, but in the second half of the meeting, the opponent dominated.
Brian Keefe's men have already accepted that this season will not bring anything good. The team has neither the stability nor the character to overcome the crisis. The away game against Philadelphia will be another test in which Washington will find it extremely difficult to achieve a positive result.
Disqualifications and injuries
Marvin Bagley, Saddiq Bey, Malcolm Brogdon and John Davis will not play in the next game due to health issues.
Interesting facts for betting
The Wizards have won only one of their last five games.
Probable line-up: Kuzma - George, Sarr - Carrington, Koulibaly.
Trends

In 3 of the last 5 head-to-head games, more than 56 points were scored in the first quarter.
1.88Tip and bets
For Washington, this is another game that is unlikely to bring anything significant. The team continues to be in last place in the Eastern Conference and looks extremely unstable. At the same time, Philadelphia retains its chances for the playoffs, which means it will be maximally motivated to win.
The Sixers have been doing well in head-to-head encounters with the Wizards, plus the game will be played at home, which increases the hosts' chances. The visitors, despite their problems, will try to put up a fight, but Philadelphia's class and motivation will be enough to win.
Our prediction is Philadelphia's victory with a handicap of (-9.5) points for 1.65
Bet on total
After a series of failures, Philadelphia will try to rehabilitate itself in front of its fans. The team will rely on attack and will try to take advantage of Washington's problems in defense. The guests, despite their weak form, prefer to play in an attacking style. We believe that the match will be productive, and the total will be broken.
Betting Tip - total over 220 points for 1.70
Bet on statistics
The home court factor and the desire to find stability will force the Sixers to play aggressively. Given the weakness of Washington's defense, the hosts have every chance to play the match at a high level and break the individual total.
Prediction - Philadelphia individual total over 115.5 points for 1.81
