Now 32-27 on the season, the Warriors sit in fifth place in the Western Conference.
They’re 16th in the league for points per game and ninth in points allowed. Curry has been inconsistent post-All-Star break but scored at least 30 points in two of his last three games.
Jimmy Butler has struggled recently, with just 11 points in his last two games. Butler is a game-time decision for this one. Golden State’s road record stands at 15-14 this season.
Philadelphia
The 76ers are in a tough spot, having lost nine straight games, and now face the loss of star Joel Embiid for the season due to knee issues.
In their most recent game, they fell 110-105 to the New York Knicks, allowing them to shoot 51.9% overall.
Tyrese Maxey led the team with 30 points, and Paul George contributed 25. Although Philly covered the spread as an 8-point underdog, they’ve struggled to do so in their previous nine games.

Now sitting in 12th place in the Eastern Conference with a 20-38 record, the team ranks 26th in points per game.
Maxey (27.2 ppg) has shown flashes of brilliance, hitting 30 points in two of the last three games, while George has performed consistently.
Kelly Oubre Jr. leads in rebounds and is averaging 21.2 ppg over the last five games.
Overall, the 76ers are 10-20 at home and are on a five-game losing streak in their building.
Warriors-76ers Best Bet
The Warriors are on a roll with five consecutive wins, while the 76ers find themselves in a tough situation after losing their last nine games.
Joel Embiid has been ruled out for the remainder of the season, adding to the 76ers’ struggles this year. They sit a daunting 18 games below .500 and are currently out of contention for the playoffs.
Everything about this one screams the 76ers are the sharp play to cover the spread. The Warriors will probably win this game, but this feels like an ideal spot for the 76ers to keep this one close late and cover the number.
Best Bet: 76ers +8.5 points at -115 odds.
