Philadelphia 76ers Preview
The Philadelphia 76ers produced their most dominant performance so far in Game 3. Joel Embiid had a field day as the 76ers made use of their size advantage all over the court. Tobias Harris is in the middle of the best playoff series of his career, while Ben Simmons also had a productive time in Game 3.
Simmons converted seven of his 10 field goal attempts and finished with 14 points, nine assists and five rebounds. The 76ers have a more well-rounded bench and look set to continue their dominant run.
Washington Wizards Preview
The Washington Wizards looked well and truly beaten in Game 3 and struggled to get good looks throughout the match. The Philadelphia 76ers defended well on the transition as the Wizards struggled in ball movement and were extremely poor with their shooting. Bradley Beal converted just one of his eight three-pointers and had an overall efficiency of 38.5%.
The Wizards might have been tempted to start Daniel Gafford, their best shooter on the night, who had 16 points and six rebounds in just over 22 minutes. Gafford also converted all four of his free throws, the one area in which the Washington Wizards looked better than the 76ers in Game 3.

Game Prediction
The Philadelphia 76ers are reaping the rewards of trusting their young stars through a number of seasons, and are almost certain to make it through. Tobias Harris and Joel Embiid have been in prolific form, and strong defensive showings have meant easy wins for the 76ers so far.
The Washington Wizards need an extreme change in fortune in order to make the series more competitive. They go into Game 4 as a comprehensive second-favorite.
