What to Know

The Washington Wizards haven't won a contest against the Philadelphia 76ers since Dec. 5 of 2019, but they'll be looking to end the drought on Friday. Washington will take on Philadelphia at 8 p.m. ET at home. If the matchup is anything like the Sixers' 141-136 victory from their previous meeting in January, the scorekeeper will be kept real busy.

The Wizards ended up a good deal behind the Memphis Grizzlies when they played on Wednesday, losing 127-112. Shooting guard Bradley Beal (21 points) and point guard Russell Westbrook (20 points) were the top scorers for Washington. That's the third consecutive game in which Russell Westbrook has had at least ten assists.

Meanwhile, everything went Philadelphia's way against the Chicago Bulls on Thursday as they made off with a 127-105 win. Philadelphia relied on the efforts of power forward Tobias Harris, who had 24 points, and shooting guard Matisse Thybulle, who had 13 points along with five steals.

The Wizards are expected to lose this next one by 3.5. Those playing the odds have seen things go back and forth with Washington, who are 18-17 against the spread.

Philadelphia's victory lifted them to 25-12 while Washington's loss dropped them down to 14-21. Allowing an average of 119.37 points per game, Washington hasn't exactly asserted themselves on the defensive end. We'll see if they can patch up the holes in their defense before their upcoming game.
