The current betting odds have the Wizards listed as a 7.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Wizards got off to a bit of a hot start and haven't been as good in their games lately, but they just lost to this 76ers team in their last game and they will be looking to get their revenge with a bounce back win here. They lost that game at home too and are now playing this game in Philadelphia but the 76ers could be missing Embiid for this game again and that will help the Wizards keep this game closer and within the spread. The Wizards still have some good players on their team and their defensive play is a lot better than it was last season. This is a lot of points for the 76ers to cover when they really haven't been playing that great out of the gates either. The best way to place a bet here is on the Wizards to cover the spread in this game.
