The Philadelphia 76ers host the Washington Wizards in their 35th NBA game of the season. The Sixers are fifth in the Eastern Conference standings with a 19–15 record, while the Washington Wizards are second from bottom with a 10–25 record. Here is our prediction for the game. 

The Philadelphia 76ers suffered a shock home defeat at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in their last game to a heavily depleted Denver Nuggets. Jalen Pickett had a big night against the Sixers, scoring a career-high 29 points, including the decisive overtime three-pointer that secured a hard-fought 125–124 victory for the Nuggets after a dramatic 120–120 tie.

That result brought the Philadelphia 76ers' three-game winning run to an end and also marked their second consecutive defeat at home. However, the three-time champions will be confident of returning to winning ways on Thursday, having won their last three NBA matchups with the Washington Wizards.

After a 26-point defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Washington Wizards bounced back with a 120–112 victory over Orlando Magic in their most recent outing. They have improved lately, winning three of their last four games, including two of their last three away fixtures.
