Washington Wizards (-9.5) at Philadelphia 76ers

Total points: 218

These teams have faced each other thrice this season, all in February, with the Wizards sweeping the trio of games. Washington played last night and this will be its third game in four nights, which is particularly notable for Marcin Gortat, who pushed through a back injury to play 18 minutes Wednesday night, and Bradley Beal, who recently missed three games with a hip malady. For the Sixers, Robert Covington and Jerami Grant will not return from their concussions (and Jahlil Okafor is done for the season), so Carl Landry, Hollis Thompson, Isaiah Canaan and Nik Stauskas will continue to see increased roles.

Players to target

• John Wall (DraftKings: $9,800, FanDuel: $9,400)

• Carl Landry (DK: $4,200, FD: $4,900)
