The Philadelphia 76ers pay a visit to the Washington Wizards at the Capital One Arena on Tuesday night.
The Philadelphia 76ers have been in red-hot form as they’ve won 11 of their last 14 games overall and they will be eager to build on their current eight-game win streak after sneaking past the Knicks in a 119-112 road win on Christmas Day. Joel Embiid led the team with 35 points on 12 of 22 shooting, James Harden added 29 points with 13 assists while Georges Niang chipped in with 16 points on six of 11 shooting off the bench. As a team, the 76ers shot 47 percent from the field and 12 of 32 from the 3-point line as they struggled to contain the Knicks in the first quarter and leaked 37 points to fall behind by as many as 14 points, but they clawed their way back and eventually won the game in the fourth quarter where they held the Knicks to just 16 points to pull off the comeback.
Meanwhile, the Washington Wizards have been in dreadful form as they’ve lost 11 of their last 13 games, but they will be hoping to build some momentum after routing the Kings in a 125-111 road win on Friday. Kyle Kuzma led the team with 32 points, nine rebounds and five assists, Bradley Beal added 24 points, Rui Hachimura scored 21 points off the bench while Monte Morris chipped in with 16 points and five assists. As a team, the Wizards shot 55 percent from the field and 10 of 32 from the 3-point line as they exploded for 40 points in the second quarter to take a 16-point lead into halftime, which ballooned to 30 points before they took their foot off the gas.
