Wizards vs 76ers NBA Preview, Predictions
This NBA system targets road underdogs in non-division matchups early in the season, where unfamiliarity often creates inefficiency in the betting market.
When teams face opponents they do not see often, defensive schemes and matchup tendencies are less predictable, leveling the playing field for the underdog, which may be the situation for the Wizards in Tuesday's matchup against the 76ers.
Facing an opponent that did not make the postseason the prior year also limits the motivational edge or perceived superiority that typically inflates the line.
Early in the season, when teams are still finding rhythm and rotations, these games tend to be more volatile and less defined by reputation.
The result is that visiting underdogs often keep games close or win outright, capitalizing on inflated spreads in spots where public bias and lack of familiarity work in their favor.
So, let's take the points with the Wizards in Philly on Tuesday night.
