Key Storylines
- The 76ers are off to a fast start at 3–0 and have had huge contributions from Tyrese Maxey, who dropped 43 points in their latest win. He continues to be their offensive engine and will try to deliver for the second night in a row.
- The Sixers rested Joel Embiid for the front end of a back-to-back last night. His status is uncertain for this game, but he could play in this contest after being held out on Monday night. Jared McCain and Trendon Watford are sidelined for the Sixers.
- The Wizards are struggling early at 1–2 and have low expectations this season. Their defense appears to be one of the worst in the NBA early in the year and they will likely have their hands full with the explosive lineup of the Sixers.

Final Thoughts
The Sixers are my best bet for this contest from Washington. Embiid should play in this game and he should dominate against an undersized Wizards team that is missing one of its top frontcourt players in Bilal Coulibaly. I’ll lay the points with the Sixers here, as they should win for the second night in a row and keep their undefeated start to the season going.
