I would probably sit back and wait to find out if Joel Embiid will play but I don't want to get accused of hitting a number that you can't get once the news potentially breaks that he may sit out -- didn't participate in shootaround with non-COVID illness -- so we will roll the dice.

It's been a weird season so far for the Sixers, to say the least. But their average point output is roughly half of this total, and the Wizards have been even better. The Sixers will be hungry to silence the doubters, secure a win as a road favorite, and join in on the good feelings percolating through the rest of the Philadelphia sports scene right now. My model has the Over hitting in 78% of its simulations. Expect a back-and-forth affair with both teams throwing haymakers.
