The Philadelphia 76ers will welcome the Washington Wizards in their next assignment in the NBA. Sitting in ninth place in the Eastern Conference, the Sixers arrive for this fixture seven games better off than 15th-placed Washington. Read on to find our prediction for this match.

The Sixers are going through a dip in form. They have won just twice in their last six games and are coming off an OT loss at home to the Hawks.

Nick Nurse’s men, who have dropped to being just one game above .500, owe this slump to an injury crisis. In the team’s latest injury report, seven players are listed, among them Joel Embiid, Andre Drummond, V.J. Edgecomb, Quentin Grimes, and Paul George.

Philly won a hard-fought first meeting of the season with Washington in OT back in October.

The Wizards have improved lately and will be hopeful of building up a strong momentum with only their second road victory. Brian Keefe’s men, who are on the tail end of a back-to-back, are coming off an OT win over the Bucks at home.

This was their second victory in the last three outings. The Wizards still remain with the worst record in the East and second worst in the league, as they have lost 16 of 19 fixtures.

C.J. McCollum scored 28 points, and Marvin Bagley added 22 more to lead the Wizards against the Bucks in the absence of leading scorer Alex Sarr.
