Wizards Seek Redemption as 76ers Aim for Win Tonight

PHILADELPHIA, Penn. – The Washington Wizards will look to end their losing streak against the Philadelphia 76ers Wednesday night at Wells Fargo Center, with tip-off scheduled for 7:00 p.m. EDT. Both teams are in dire straits this season, with the Wizards holding the worst record in the NBA.

As of March 25, 2025, the Wizards have dropped their last five games and are yet to find consistency on the court. Key players such as Kyshawn George (ankle) are listed as day-to-day, while Saddiq Bey (knee), Malcolm Brogdon (ankle), Corey Kispert (thumb), and Bilal Coulibaly (hamstring) have been ruled out for the matchup.

In contrast, the 76ers have faced their own challenges with a series of injuries. Notably, Joel Embiid and Paul George are both sidelined for the season, along with leading scorer Tyrese Maxey, who is out with a back issue. Despite these setbacks, the 76ers have managed to maintain an average of 115.9 points per game over their last ten contests.

Dimers‘ predictive model estimates the 76ers have a 63% chance of securing victory against the Wizards, as reported by Damien Souness, leading analyst at Dimers. “Our simulations provide a clear edge to the 76ers, who, despite their injuries, have more depth and scoring capability than the Wizards,” Souness stated.

Looking to capitalize on the 76ers’ dynamic scoring is Quentin Grimes, who has averaged 22.2 points per game since his trade from the Dallas Mavericks earlier this season. His recent surge includes an average of 28.0 points in March, triggering optimism among Philadelphia fans regarding their chances in tonight’s game.

Meanwhile, for the Wizards, Jordan Poole remains the standout player, averaging 20.5 points, but his efforts have not been enough to turn the tide for a struggling roster that has only surpassed 112 points in two of the last nine games.

The latest betting lines feature the 76ers favored at -3.5 points, a prediction that reflects their home advantage. Analysts suggest that despite Washington’s potential to surprise, the 76ers are likely to cover the spread and claim a much-needed win as they look to secure their playoff position.

As for total points, the over/under is set at 230.5, with opportunities for bets to consider factors like player props on Grimes, who is likely to stay hot given the current state of the Wizards’ defense.

With both teams aiming to turn their fortunes around, the stakes are high for the matchup. Fans tuning in can catch the game on Monumental Sports Network and NBC Sports Philadelphia, keeping their hopes alive for a competitive contest.
