LiontipsWashington vs Philadelphia. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Wizards showed what they are capable of towards the end of the season and managed to secure a playoff spot after a win in a play-in. Team deserved the credit, but that was just a start.
Washington was drawn to the leader of Eastern conference, Philadelphia, so it was pretty clear that Scott Brooks' side won't be a favourite in this matchup. Team lost three consecutive games, and managed to put up a fight only in first one.
In this situation we should feel sorry about Bradley Beal, who is trying his best. Wizards' leader was hoping for a support from his partner Russell Westbrook, but he woke up only in the last game.
Sixers are aiming for a title this season and they are doing their best to achieve that. Doc Rivers reloaded the team and under his guidance Ben Simmons and his partners coasted to the top spot of the Eastern conference.
Philadelphia won five games in a row, if we are taking regular season games into the account. In the playoffs team is dominating over Washington and they need to win only one more match to advance to the next round.
Phila will step into Capital One Arena as a huge favourite, just like in the previous games. Of course guests should take this match with full responsibility, because Wizards will try to clinch the first win in the series.
