Sixers and Wizards Face Off on Wednesday
The Washington Wizards play host to the Philadelphia 76ers in Orlando on Wednesday.

The Sixers (40-27) were lucky to pull off a win on Monday, narrowly beating a short-handed San Antonio Spurs team. That followed up a disappointing loss to the Indiana Pacers in their Orlando debut and fans have to wonder just where this team is at right now. What really kills this team is the fact that they can't play at home anymore. This is a Sixers club that posted a 10-25 road record. They're not going to have any more games at Wells Fargo for the remainder of this season and it's time for the Sixers to figure out how to win away from home. They also need to get Ben Simmons going, who fouled out in 25 ugly minutes on Monday, generating just eight points, two rebounds and five assists. That's unacceptable from an All-Star and he needs to help Joel Embiid out.

The Wizards (24-43) have to play this restart without John Wall, Bradley Beal and Davis Bertans. That's arguably their three-best scorers and it's left the team in the hands of guys like Thomas Bryant and Troy Brown Jr. Both of those guys have looked fantastic in the first few games of the Orlando restart but they still have three losses in three games. Many people believe that this is the worst club in the Orlando season and it's unfortunate that the Wizards has to play with so many key pieces out. The best-case scenario is an 1-8 matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks in the postseason and that might honestly be more embarrassing than anything.

These teams have played twice this season, splitting those two outings. The home team won in both games, averaging 122 points per outing.
