The Washington Wizards (1-2) host the Philadelphia 76ers (3-0) in an NBA 2025-26 game on Tuesday, October 28, at Capital One Arena.
The Sixers stake their perfect start when they visit Washington on Wednesday. They just handled the Orlando Magic 136-124 behind a blistering 43 points from Tyrese Maxey, who has opened the season on a tear. So far, Maxey is averaging 37.0 points and 7.7 assists on 46.1% shooting this season.
In the win against the Magic, the Sixers also received 26 points and 7 assists from prized rookie VJ Edgecombe. Veteran wing Kelly Oubre Jr contributed a double-double performance of 25 points and 10 assists.
However, injuries remain the big subplot for Philadelphia. Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Jared McCain are all listed out, along with Trendon Watford and Dominick Barlow.
Meanwhile, the Wizards were blitzed in the second half of their home opener, falling 139-113 to the Charlotte Hornets after leading by 11 at halftime. They gave up a staggering 88 points to the Hornets in the second half.
Veteran guard CJ McCollum led the Wizards with his 24 points, while Alex Sarr added 23.
The Wizards will miss the services of Bilal Coulibaly on Tuesday, as he is nursing a thumb injury.

Our Philadelphia 76ers vs Washington Wizards Prediction
Washington’s young core has flashed shot-making bursts, but defensive lapses and turnovers have burned them late. Philly, meanwhile, is thriving with Tyrese Maxey’s pace-and-space engine even without its stars.
If Maxey continues his brilliance, the Sixers will be difficult to deal with every night. Add to that the mature scoring skill set of rookie VJ Edgecombe, and the Sixers already have their backcourt for the future. Our prediction for the Washington Wizards vs Philadelphia 76ers match is: Sixers (-4.5) cover the spread.Grab an extra $250 for your Philadelphia 76ers vs Washington Wizards wager!
