76ers vs. Wizards: Odds, DFS Outlook, & Notes for Sunday Night

After seeing their game get postponed just a week ago, the Philadelphia 76ers wrapped up their week without a single win during a three-game stretch. Therefore, the Sixers entered this week with a chip on their shoulder
Facing the Boston Celtics for the second time this year, the Sixers and their Atlantic Division rival went down to the wire. Although it was a close one, Joel Embiid and the Sixers found a way to come out on top and avoid falling into a four-game slump.
The Sixers got a couple of days off then returned to the floor on Thursday night at home to host the Atlanta Hawks for their third meeting this season. Although the Hawks were depleted and missing a handful of key players, Atlanta upset the Sixers in South Philly and issued them their 16th loss of the year.
Now, the Sixers are on a mission to bounce back. As they sit in seventh place in the Eastern Conference, the Sixers have to win to avoid taking on a losing record right now. They'll have an opportunity to play against the sixth-seeded Washington Wizards on Sunday night.
Considering the Sixers are responsible for knocking Washington out of the playoffs last season, some members of the Wizards might be searching for revenge on Sunday. While the Wizards have a couple of players out just like Philadelphia's previous opponents, recent history bodes well for Washington as the Sixers have struggled against their shorthanded opponents lately.
The Sixers and the Wizards are set to tip-off on Sunday night at the Capital One Arena at 6:00 PM EST.
