Wizards vs. 76ers
By Dead Pres
The Washington Wizards will face off against the Philadelphia 76ers in the City of Brotherly Love. Washington enters the matchup with a 15-56 record, the worst in the NBA. Fans are hopeful their team will secure the first overall pick and kickstart a rebuild with potential superstar Cooper Flagg. Veteran Jordan Poole leads the Wizards with an average of 20.5 points and 4.5 assists per game.
Meanwhile, the 76ers come into the game with a 23-49 record. No team has been more disappointing in the NBA this season. Philadelphia started the year with high expectations as one of the top teams in the East. However, superstar Joel Embiid has battled injuries for much of the season and Paul George has struggled in his first year with the Sixers. Tyrese Maxey leads Philadelphia with 26.3 points and 6.1 assists per game, although he hasn’t played since March 3rd.
At 29 years old, Guerschon Yabusele has been one of the few bright spots for the 76ers this season. With all the injuries plaguing the 76ers, Yabusele has seen an expanded role. Tonight, he’s expected to play over 30 minutes and will be in a prime position to exceed 11.5 points against the NBA's worst defensive team. Our Action Pro Report projects him to score 14.1 points tonight.
Pick: Guerschon Yabusele Over 11.5 Points -115

Lakers vs. Pacers
By Joe Dellera
The Lakers face off against the Indiana Pacers in what should be a pretty competitive contest between playoff teams.
One player who has excelled in this matchup is Luka Doncic. In three games over the past two seasons, Doncic has scored 33, 39 and 34 points against Indiana. All of those games were when he was with the Dallas Mavericks. However, one thing remains the same: Indiana tends to stay home and play single coverage while refusing to over-help on the defensive side of the ball.
Doncic is someone you can't do that with. If you do, he is going to score at every level.
Although Doncic's scoring started off a little slow with LeBron James in the mix, it has picked up in recent games. Doncic has scored 30+ points in five consecutive games and in six of seven, with the one miss being 29 points.
Couple this recent success with the matchup — the Pacers play at the fifth-fastest pace in the league — and this is a spot that sets up for points.
I’ll back Doncic on Wednesday night.
Pick: Luka Doncic 30+ Points

Lakers vs. Pacers
The Lakers' offensive efficiency sees a noticeable spike when playing with both LeBron James and Luka Doncic. Now, the Lakers head on the road to Indiana to take on the most appropriately named team in the league, the Pacers.
Indiana will increase the tempo and the number of possessions in this game. We also have opposing playstyles that suit the offenses. The Lakers allow 3-point attempts while protecting the paint, whereas the Pacers space the floor.
On the flip side, the Pacers excel at defending the 3, but the Lakers will hunt mismatches and run a heavy pick-and-roll offense. Take the over, as this game is set up to be a shootout and is a must-watch.
Pick: Over 232.5 Total Points
