Memo to oddsmakers: Tank time is over for the 76ers.
Given the 76ers' awesome young talent - all healthy at last - and the horrific injury to Gordon Hayward it wouldn't shock me if the 76ers made a run at the Atlantic Division title this season.
Philadelphia finished last season covering 13 of its last 17 road games. The 76ers showed they are serious about winning this season upgrading their bench with veterans J.J. Redick and Amir Johnson to go with Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, Markelle Fultz and Dario Saric.
The Wizards have failed to cover in their last EIGHT season-openers. Their rotation is down Markieff Morris, which hurts their defense that wasn't very good last season.
