NBA Eastern Conference Quarterfinals NBA Playoffs Game 3 (PHI leads 2-0)
Philadelphia 76ers (49-23, 20-16 Away) vs. Washington Wizards (34-38, 19-17 Away)
Date: Saturday, May 29th, 2021
Time: 7 pm EST
Venue: Capital One Arena — Washington D.C.
Coverage: ESPN
The Washington Wizards have played about as well as they can against the 76ers. The Wizards are built for speed and shootouts and are great at that style of play. Unfortunately, the 76ers are better at what they do: grinding opponents down with their size on either end of the floor. Now that Russell Westbrook is questionable with an ankle injury, the Wizards need to be playing at home now more than ever.
Unfortunately, this series is not looking promising for the Wizards. If the 76ers want to be taken seriously in the Eastern Conference, they need to sweep this series.
