Both teams have been lethal on the offensive end so far. The Sixers have averaged 132.7pts in their opening three wins of the season. Whilst the Wizards have also looked strong at scoring, averaging 116.7pts and going 1-2.
Although Tre Johnson and VJ Edgecombe are in different situations, both have found a way to leave historical marks early on.
Johnson had the best scoring debut for a Wizards rookie in over 30 years. Since then, he has only continued his momentum, with the second best scoring average for the Wizards.
Edgecombe has easily been the most productive rookie thus far. Through three games, he is averaging 24.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, including a 34 point, 7 rebounds in his debut.
1u: Total points under 237.5pts (+110)
I’m going with the stats on this one, these types of matchups typically yield low scoring games for both sides. Despite two really exciting rookies facing up, I expect a scrappy game.
