76ers vs Wizards Game 5 Predictions: NBA Playoff Picks

The Philadelphia 76ers and Washington Wizards will face off in an Eastern Conference playoff matchup. For the Sixers, they fully expect to represent the East in the NBA Finals. The Wizards are looking to pull off a first round upset, though Russell Westbrook and Bradley Beal wouldn’t dare tell you that they are the underdogs here.

This is sure to be a fun game from start to finish and we are here to bring you elite predictions for both against the spread and over/under. Let’s dive into how this game will go down and who will end up covering the spread.

This game will take place at 7:00 PM ET at Wells Fargo Center

Why bet the Wizards:

✅ The injury fortune in this series took a massive turn in Game 4. Instead of the ailing Washington Wizards being swept, the tides turned in a massive way, Russell Westbrook looked as healthy as he has all series, and the 76ers were dealt an injury blow in turn. Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid suffered what could be a significant knee injury, and he could potentially miss the remainder of the series. Make no mistake, Embiid is the 76ers top player and this drastically changes their outlook. 

✅ Prior to Game 4, the Wizards were getting little to no help from their role players in this series. Davis Bertans is now out, but the Wizards got admirable production from the other big men after Embiid left the game. Rui Hachimura and Daniel Gafford were big contributors, and even back up center Robin Lopez made his presence felt. If the Wizards bigs can continue to produce against the 76ers sans Embiid, we may have a brand new series on our hands. 

✅ The Wizards are not a high end three point shooting team by any means, but they were able to get the job done in Game 4 despite a lack of contribution from behind the arc. With Embiid out of the lineup, all they will need to stay competitve and perhaps win outright is to shoot a reasonable percentage. That is to say they just need to avoid the laughable 9% clip they shot at in Game 2, which is pretty easy to do. 
 

The Philadelphia 76ers and Washington Wizards are two of the original NBA franchises and they’ve played a ton in result. The 76ers originated in 1949 while the Wizards came around just 12 years later in 1961. They’ve played over 330 games against each other since with the Sixers holding a comfortable edge.

That’s no surprise when you consider the Sixers are older and have multiples dominant teams in their history. With all of that being said, none of that matters tonight when these two teams face off. This is a game that either team can win and we will be the ones to break that down for you.
