76ers vs. Wizards Game Info
Philadelphia 76ers (49-23, 20-16 Away) vs. Washington Wizards (34-38, 19-17 Home)
Date: Monday, May 31, 2021
Time: 7 p.m. EST
Venue: Capital One Arena – Washington, D.C.
Coverage: TNT
The Wizards haven’t posed much of a threat to the 76ers this series. As soon as Philadelphia slows the game down into the halfcourt, there simply isn’t anything Washington is able to do. They also don’t have anyone who can stop Joel Embiid. Embiid was great in Game 3, scoring 36 points on 14-for-18 shooting while also grabbing eight rebounds and three steals in only 28 minutes. As a team, Philadelphia shot 17-for-33 from downtown. If the 76ers are converting on their 3-point attempts, it’s tough for anyone to beat them, much less the Wizards.
Washington is doing the best they can, but they don’t have anyone who poses a threat outside of Russell Westbrook and Bradley Beal. Westbrook was questionable to play last game due to an ankle injury. Despite this, he gave a terrific performance, recording 26 points (9-for-18 shooting), 12 rebounds and 10 assists. Beal scored 25 points, though he was less efficient shooting. Only two other players hit double-digit scoring for the Wizards. They simply do not have enough talent to compete in this series.

76ers vs. Wizards Prediction
The 76ers can wrap the series up today, and they should do just that. The Wizards may come out of the gates firing, but the emotion they are playing with is not enough to compete with the 76ers as soon as Philadelphia as able to control the pace. I am expecting another double-digit-point 76ers win.
Prediction: 76ers -8 (William Hill)
