Parlay odds: +1359
Washington Wizards ML (+230)
It’s pretty much the game of the season for the Washington Wizards tonight. They cannot afford to go 3-0 down if they plan on extending this series as much as possible. They have already proved in Game 1 they are capable of hanging with this Sixers team. If we look at their record at home against Philadelphia they have ten wins in the last 12 head-to-head meetings. They also ended the regular season with four straight home wins and followed that with a play-in tournament win over Indiana at home. Wizards are also 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games as the underdog, so there are definitely reasons to be optimistic tonight.
Over 227.5 total points (-110)
After the total went under in the previous game, it has been set at a relatively low level for Game 3. Washington ended the regular season playing at the fastest pace in the league and yes, their shooting has been off through the first two games but that should all change as the series shifts to Washington. Role players usually play a lot better in home games and that should be the case tonight. Expect Westbrook and Beal to be extra motivated as this is basically the game of the season for them — if they go 3-0 down there is no way they are coming back. The only way the Wizards will stand a chance in this one is if they push the tempo and try to score as many points as possible. Their defense will suffer as a result which should push the total over. Let’s back the points in this one.
Bradley Beal over 39.5 points (+370)
It’s never easy backing someone to score 40 points in a game, but Bradley Beal is more than capable of doing so. He has had 33 points in both games so far in this series despite shooting just 16 percent from three-point land. It’s also worth noting that he played both of those games on the road, and playing in front of a home crowd will be a boost for his confidence. Beal’s highest-scoring regular-season game came against tonight’s opponents. He dropped 60 points on the Sixers in January. During the three regular-season meetings he has averaged 36.7 points per game against them while shooting 55 percent from the field, 55 percent from three and 80 percent from the free-throw line. Tonight’s game should be high-scoring one and Beal can take advantage.
