Washington Wizards vs Philadelphia 76ers: Storylines

Most people expected the Washington Wizards to be near the bottom of the standings and trade Bradley Beal and even perhaps Russell Westbrook. So, the fact that they've gotten this far is already a win for the franchise.

The same can't be said of the Philadelphia 76ers. It feels like it's championship-or-bust for them this season after leading the Eastern Conference and putting together one of the best defenses in the league, so the pressure is on them to deliver.
