The closest prize the Philadelphia 76ers are within grasp of this season is coming away from the season with the NBA's first overall draft pick. The Sixers have won just 12 games all season and have started to look like a team that has cashed in their chips. The Sixers were losing, but playing hard, allowing fewer than 100 points in 12 of 14 games, but are now mired in a five-game losing streak, allowing 108 points per game in their last four. The Wizards have lost five straight themselves, and crushed Philly by 35 points in their last meeting and need a win, so they will take control of this contest. The losing streak has Washington facing a much lesser line than what is appropriate here, and Philly has been a no-show as we head down the stretch. Play on Washington.
