LiontipsWashington vs Philadelphia. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Capital club deserved the spot in the playoffs, because they managed to step up after the loss to Boston (110:118) and completely destroyed Indiana (142:115), which helped them to qualify. Scott Brooks' lads were drawn to Philadelphia, which is a very tough opponent to face.
Washington failed to find a win in two away fixtures, despite the best effort from Bradley Beal. Russell Westbrook is disappointing so far, despite everyone had high expectations for his performance. Though there is still chance to turn things around.
Wizards will now play two games at home arena, but bookmakers are still not counting on them. Wizards will have to put up their best performance to make their opponents nervous. Overall, hosts are most likely to go all the way.
Sixers tried their best and they made it to the top spot of the Eastern conference. Now team is aiming for the championship title, which is a resonable task for this squad of players.
Philadelphia prepared for the series against Washington pretty great - they secured victories in two consecutive home games. Ben Simmons, Tobias Harris and Joel Embiid did a great job and left no chance to the Wizards' defense.
Now Doc Rivers' lads will have to try to repeat that result at the Capital One Arena. It looks like Phila is having all the chances to dominate over the Wizards again and to leave no questions about the winner of a tie.

Tip and bets
Washington can't find a win over Philadelphia for seven consecutive games now. Nuff said. Scott Brooks' guys showed their determination during the last few matches of the season, but that didn't last long. Bradley Beal just can't do it all by himself. In our opinion, Sixers will have no mercy towards the capital club and will record another victory.
Our prediction - Philadelphia 76ers to win with a handicap of (-3) points
Of course Wizards will try to change the outcome of the series, but that will be incredibly hard to do. Capital club will go ahead and play offensively and Sixers will probably be ready for this.
Our second prediction - total over 222.5 points
