Halfway through the season, the Wizards are on path to have their best regular-season win total since the late 1970s. Washington looks to hand the 76ers their fourth loss in five games in a Martin Luther King Day matinee (2:05 p.m. ET).

Washington is a large 13.5-point favorite, with a total of about 191.5 in Las Vegas.  Check The Linemakers on Sporting News’ odds page for updated NBA point spreads and totals.

The average score after 10,000-plus simulations is Wizards 99-87, and Washington has an 85.5 percent chance to win the game outright.  

But there's about a 61 percent chance Philly covers a +13.5 spread, a 3-star (out of four) AccuScore hot trend.

AccuScore Best Bet: There is about a 60 percent chance the total combined score stays UNDER 191.5, a 4-star (out of four) AccuScore hot trend.

Supporting trend: The total has gone UNDER in seven of Philadelphia's last eight games.

In the wheelhouse: AccuScore has a 53-45 record (54.1 percent) when predicting OVER/UNDERs on NBA games with posted totals between 190.5 and 195.  

Projected Leaders
Tony Wroten (doubtful): 13 points, 4 assists, 2 rebounds, 1 steal, 3 TOs
John Wall: 16 points, 7 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block, 3 TOs
