There’s a reason the over jumped nearly as soon as it was posted in Vegas: the over is 4-1 in the Sixers’ last five home games and is 7-2 in the team’s last nine games overall. The over is also 6-2 in Philadelphia’s last eight games coming off a loss and a perfect 5-0 in its last five games after allowing more than 125 points in its previous contest.

The Sixers don’t play defense (25th in defensive efficiency) and the Wizards have cashed the over in four of their last five games playing on no rest, as well as in 17 of their last 24 road games as well. The over should hit again.
