Washington Wizards vs Philadelphia 76ers Prop Bet: Westbrook Over 25.5 Pts

Washington Wizards vs Philadelphia 76ers square off in the NBA Playoffs. It’s going to be an interesting duel, no doubt about it, especially now that the Wizards have a true NBA legend in their team. Russell Westbrook has recently signed (last year) for the team from the capital and the series with Philadelphia is his opportunity to shine.

Washington Wizards vs Philadelphia 76ers Betting Preview

The team from Pennsylvania leads the Washington Wizards vs Philadelphia 76ers series 1-0 after winning 125-118 in Game 1. Can they win the entire series? Sure, and not just the series with the Wizards, but the NBA title as well!

The Wizards finished the regular season below the Playoffs mark. The 76ers, on the other hand, got themselves into the Playoffs, which saw them losing to the Celtics in 1/8-finals.

Another piece of info we can use to gauge what to expect from the Washington vs Philadelphia game is their power rankings. According to CBS Sports, the 76ers are the third-best team in the NBA.

With Doc Rivers as their new coach, and Dwight Howard moving in from La Lakers, the 76ers look capable of challenging the title.

The Wizards, on the other hand, come in #17 in the Power Rankings, which practically makes them one of the worst teams in the playoffs, according to CBS.

However, with the signing of Westbrook, this team could do better than expected.

Still, basketball is not a one-man game, so even if Westbrook does well, it doesn’t mean his team can go much far.

Wizards vs 76ers Prop Bet Suggestion

For NBA bettors, it’s pretty clear who the favorite is in the Washington Wizards vs Philadelphia 76ers game. The home team is expected to win it easily. The trouble is that the moneyline odds on the 76ers might not be too attractive.

Furthermore, the spread could be tricky to predict as the oddsmakers are very good at picking the right number. For this reason, the solution might be betting on basketball prop bets.

Russell Westbrook is the man to focus on in the Wizards vs 76ers game. He is, by far, their best player, and considering that he scored “only” 16 points in Game 1, he’s going to be very motivated to score a lot.

Another reason why we expect Westbrook to score a lot of points in the second game of the Wizards vs 76ers (and, in fact, all the other games) is that his team is without Bradley Beal, who was their #1 points leader in the regular season, averaging 33 points per game.

For this reason, our Washington Wizards vs Philadelphia 76ers prop bet pick is Russell Westbrook to score Over 25.5 points.
