Tonight:
3X-- PHILADELPHIA 76ers (PK)
The Sixers come off of a bad home outing versus the Indiana Pacers on Sunday. Tonight, they travel down 95 to visit the Wizards at the MCI Center. Philadelphia has been in a funk over the past week. They have dropped 5 of 7 heading into tonight, but have played a difficult schedule thru that stretch. I expect the Sixers to regroup against an improving Wizards team. Philly has had a chance to get home and rest, have a day of practice and it should do them good. Iverson likes to show-off in his home area-- he should dominate tonight. In 2002-03, the Sixers won all four meetings between these two teams. Overall, the 76ers have won five straight in this series and six of the last seven meetings. I like Philly to win again tonight.
SOME TRENDS:
WASHINGTON is 10-22 ATS (-14.2 Units) in November games over the last 3 seasons.
WASHINGTON is 8-21 ATS (-15.1 Units) when playing with 2 days rest over the last 3 seasons.
PHILADELPHIA is 6-3 against the spread versus WASHINGTON over the last 3 seasons
PHILADELPHIA is 6-3 straight up against WASHINGTON over the last 3 seasons
Good Luck.
