What you need to know about the Wizards

It's hard to win when you don't work as a unit and rack up 10 fewer assists than your opponent, a fact the Wizards found out the hard way on Friday. They fell to Orlando 130-125. The Wizards have struggled against the Magic recently, as their matchup on Friday was their fourth consecutive loss. 

Washington's struggles mainly lie on the defensive end as it ranks last in rebounding and allows the highest field goal percentage in the league. On offense, Kyle Kuzma has been effective with 23.6 points per game but newcomer Jordan Poole has been highly inefficient. Despite a bigger role than he had with Golden State, Poole's scoring is down from 20.4 PPG last season to 17.2 PPG this year, and he's shooting under 40% from the field. Poole (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday but has had four days of rest, so he's expected to suit up. See which team to pick here.

What you need to know about the 76ers

The 76ers have been a dominant force so far but will be looking to break out of a two-game mini slump. They took a 125-119 hit to the loss column at the hands of Boston on Friday. The 76ers' defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of Patrick Beverley, who scored 26 points to go along with eight rebounds and seven assists, and Robert Covington, who scored 18 points to go along with five rebounds and five steals.

The Sixers were without both Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey in the game, but neither is listed on Wednesday's injury report. Kelly Oubre Jr., who is fourth on the team with 16.3 PPG and has been out for a month, is also slated to return tonight. The Sixers started the year 7-1 with Oubre on the floor but Philly also has posted the second-best offensive rating even with him missing more than half of the season. See which team to pick here.
