Golden State Warriors at Philadelphia 76ers Pick
Spread Pick for Warriors vs. 76ers
- Philadelphia 76ers -2.5 (4 units)
The Philadelphia 76ers might play without star Joel Embiid, but the team has grown more accustomed to playing without its big man than Golden State has without its star Stephen Curry. Philadelphia’s Tyrese Maxey has taken over the leadership of the 76ers and is scoring an average of 32.3 points (3rd NBA) per game, while handing out 7.6 assists per game and making 1.5 steals. Golden State has covered the spread in just one of its last seven games, and the Warriors have covered the spread in just four of the last 18 games on the road versus Philadelphia. Golden State's defense will keep the Warriors close, but scoring takes a big drop off after Curry, with Butler averaging 20.2 points per game, then Kuminga averaging just 13.5 points per game. Golden State is 1-1 since losing Curry to injury, but is averaging just 108 points per game in the two games without its star.
Over/Under Pick for Warriors vs. 76ers
- Under 223.5 (4 units)
