Golden State Warriors 11+ Win Margin (+180)
We don't often see the Sixers get beat by double-digits, but I'm afraid there's a good chance of that happening in tonight's game. Joel Embiid left their last game with a calf injury, so there's a possibility he might not even play here, it would be dumb for him to play and risk further injury with the playoffs just around the corner. Another big piece of the Sixers team is doubtful here and that's James Harden who is bothered by an Achilles injury. Just a minor tweak of that could be devastating, so I think the 76ers will take precautionary measures here with both of their stars. That leaves them with Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris against the defending champions who are 29-7 SU at Chase Center this season. With all due respect to those two players, there's no chance they can keep up with a Warriors team that's still very much in the running for one of the top 4 seeds in the West and needs a win badly here. The Warriors are coming off back-to-back wins over Houston and Dallas, this will be their first home game in over a week, so expect a packed Chase Center behind them as they look for their 15th win over Philly in the last 20 meetings.
