The injury riddled defending champions continue their road trip in Philadelphia tonight as they take on the red-hot 76ers. Tip-off is set for 7.30 pm ET on ESPN. I've prepared another Same Game Parlay, continue reading below to see it.
As always you can find our picks on the side and total for all 10 games this Friday on our NBA Predictions page.
Let's dive in!
Joel Embiid 2+ Made Threes (+195)
Embiid averages almost 36 points per game at Wells Fargo Center this season, he just had a 53 point night against the Charlotte Hornets. My main concern here is that if the Sixers blow out the Warriors, Embiid might not play enough minutes to go over his point total, so I think settling for the threes is a better idea. He's recorded at least 2 shots made from the perimeter twice in his last 3 outings, plus for the month of December he's making 1.4 threes per game which is a noticeable improvement compared to previous months. His efficiency is also through the roof at almost 54%, so if he gets a couple of opportunities here he should be able to make some threes. The Warriors shoot a lot of them, but they also let opponents do so as well. On the road this season they are allowing 40% of threes to go in, only 3 teams in the entire league have worse numbers than that. So let's hope the Philly big man is able to take advantage of that.
