LiontipsWashington Wizards - Philadelphia Sixers: NBA match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Washington is now like an old record that is stuck: six defeats in the last seven matches. On April 9, the Wizards went to visit Indiana and returned with another 98-104 scar. Yes, they took the first and third quarters, but it's like winning a couple of rounds in a fight where you get knocked out anyway. Alex Sarr and Justin Champagne were the only ones who tried to keep their mark, both with double-doubles (Sarr - 20 points, 12 rebounds, six assists; Champagne — 20 points, 13 rebounds).
Jordan Poole added 19 points, Carlton Carrington - 13, but it was only enough for the beautiful numbers in the protocol. Brian Keogh's team (17 wins, 62 losses) is a hopeless outsider in the East, 15th place, and they have less chance of making the playoffs than I have of running a marathon without preparation.
Disqualifications and injuries
Wizards has an infirmary packed like a subway during rush hour. Saddiq Bey, Malcolm Brogdon, Chris Middleton, Bilal Coulibaly — all these guys are healing their sores somewhere, while the team is trying to survive on the remnants of the squad. This is not an epidemic, this is already some kind of basketball apocalypse.
Interesting facts for betting
When Washington and Philadelphia come together on the floor, points come pouring out of a cornucopia — an average of 233 per match (based on the last ten meetings).
Approximate composition: Bud Carrington, Jordan Poole, Koby Jones, Kishon George, Alex Sarr.
Current form
Philadelphia is a champion in the art of losing beautifully: 12 defeats in a row, and at least henna. On April 9, the Sixers visited Miami and left empty—handed again — 105:117. They won the third quarter, but otherwise they seemed to forget where the basket was.
Quentin Grimes and Lonnie Walker tried to save the day by scoring 29 points each, and Adem Bona had a double-double (16 points, 11 rebounds, one assist), but it's like putting out a fire with a bucket of water. Nick Ners' team (23 wins, 56 losses) is in 13th place in the East and has been waving the playoffs for a long time.
Disqualifications and injuries
Philadelphia came to Washington as if after a shipwreck — Joel Embiid, Paul George, Tyrese Maxey, Gershon Yabusele, Andre Drummond, Kelly Oubre — all these stars are either in the infirmary or somewhere resting for medical reasons. A youth squad will come out onto the floor, but with burning eyes.
Interesting facts for betting
Philadelphia has beaten Washington 194 times in its history, and the Wizards have prevailed in 128 games.
Approximate composition: Jared Butler, Quentin Grimes, Looney Walker, Ricky Consil, Adem Bona.

1.87Tip and bets
This is a match between two losers who have long forgotten what tournament wrestling is. Washington and Philadelphia are already on the beach in their minds, but they always fight among themselves, as if this is the final of the championship. The principle, you know, is this. Both teams will roll out the second lineups, but the fight will be notable — from the knife, as they say. Washington — they're still a little angrier at home, and they'll adjust the stands. Keogh and his guys will gnaw out the victory, albeit with sweat and blood.
Our betting tip is Washington's victory, taking into account overtime in 1.94
Betting on an individual total
Washington is averaging 108.1 points per game, a little more at home — 109.9. In three of the last meetings with Philadelphia, they exceeded 113, but now, without half the squad, it will be like running a hundred meters with a kettlebell on your leg. They will not jump over the roof and will not upset the opponent beyond measure.
Our betting tip is that Washington's individual total is less than 112.5 points, taking into account overtime in 2.03
The bet for the first quarter
Philadelphia has won the first quarter in five of the last seven matches against Washington, which is like entering the ring and immediately punching an opponent in the jaw. The Sixers will start with fire in their eyes, Ners will set them up for victory from the very first minutes. But keeping this fuse to the end is another matter. The first quarter is theirs, and then we'll see.
Our betting tip is a Philadelphia victory in the first quarter in 1.88
