Expert picks & predictions for Wednesday’s Wizards vs. 76ers game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) is diving into the player prop market for this game: Guerschon Yabusele OVER 7.5 rebounds (-115)
“Yabusele crushed this number last game with Embiid and Drummond out. Embiid is out for sure, and Drummond is doubtful. They are playing a poor shooting Wizards team who give up a ton of boards to centers. He cruises again tonight.”
