Philadelphia 76ers vs Golden State Warriors Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA

The Philadelphia 76ers have a rather golden opportunity to snag a win against the injury-ridden Golden State Warriors. Steph Curry remains out, and Jimmy Butler is highly doubtful, leaving the Warriors short-handed against a relatively fit 76ers. Let's get into our match prediction.

So, our sharp pick for this game is that the 76ers beat the Warriors. Philadelphia already has the home advantage, but the difference in their lineup quality should be the real deciding factor. While the Warriors are without their two highest points per game scorers (Curry and Butler), the 76ers enter with Tyrese Maxey, one of the sharpest Guards in the league.

Maxey has averaged a staggering 32.5 points in 20 games this season. And he plays 40.1 minutes per game, which is the highest in the league. That field time should see him pressure (and crack) the Warriors' defense through the four quarters.

What's more, Joel Embiid might feature in this game, which would drastically boost the 76ers' defensive and offensive performance. For context, three of the Warriors' last eight losses were games without both Butler and Curry, and that includes their latest game versus the Thunder.
