Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on January 9. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Philadelphia 76ers

The 76ers played their previous game against Phoenix at home after a long road trip. Apparently, the long stay away from home exhausted Nick Nurse's team, and they failed to score even a hundred points in the duel with the Suns - a 99-109 defeat. In addition, we should not forget about the Joel Embiid factor, who again did not help his team due to health problems.

Having lost three games out of the previous four, Philadelphia once again rolled away from the top ten of the East. The Seventy Sixers are now in 11th place in the conference with a 14-20 record and are 2.0 wins behind the play-in zone, which is currently occupied by Chicago. It should also be noted that Phila has yet to solve the problems on offense, sitting at 28th in the efficiency rating, scoring just 107.4 points per game on average.

Washington Wizards

For the Wizards, the championship is going steadily. All season long, the team has been in last place in the Eastern Conference. Washington has only six wins in 34 games since the start of the championship, as well as the league's worst defense - 121.8 points allowed per game on average.

Washington lost its previous game at home to Houston (112:135), one of the season leaders, and before that officially became the absolute worst team in the league, losing twice to last place in the Western Conference, New Orleans - 120:132 on the road, 98:110 at home.

Expert Betting Tips

Washington has the worst defense this season, but on offense, the Wizards are only 24th in the league, and Philadelphia, let's repeat, is 28th. In this regard, we bet in the upcoming game on the total less, as well as on the 76ers. Nick Nurse's team, unlike Washington, has ambitions to fight for high places this season, and Phila can hardly be satisfied with the current standings.
