76ers vs Warriors Prediction
The Warriors are in a rough patch right now, and it’s hard seeing things turn around given their injury report. The Warriors are 4-8 SU on the road. The 76ers have rotation issues as well, but they’re at home and are the healthier team overall for the most part. The 76ers are also a profitable 12-7-1 ATS on the season. We’re not being asked to lay anything crazy. I have a hard time getting invested with the Warriors in their current form and down their best player. Give me the 76ers at home.
