The Philadelphia 76ers and Washington Wizards will lock horns with each other in an enticing 2021-22 NBA regular-season game on Monday at Capital One Arena.
The 76ers have been in terrific form, having won ten of their last 12 matches. They beat the Miami Heat 109-98 in their previous outing. Joel Embiid continued his fine form, bagging 32 points and 12 rebounds, while Tobias Harris and Seth Curry combined for 43 points. Philadelphia improved their season record to 25-17, which helped them move up to fifth in the Eastern Conference standings.
