Season series: Philadelphia leads 3-0
Both teams are on a back-to-back and are certainly tired. The 76ers were down 16 entering the 4th quarter yesterday against the Atlanta Hawks, but they closed to gap and were just 6 points away with 30 seconds left. It was still too much to overcome and the Hawks won 127-121. G Tyrese Maxey (illness) sat out and is questionable for this one.
The Wizards were in a similar situation, down 13 in the 4th quarter against the Boston Celtics. They roared back and were just 4 points down with 50 seconds left. But they, too, lost 133-129.
