The Golden State Warriors have been a team on the rise as they’ve reeled off seven wins from their past eight games. They will be gunning for a sixth straight victory after sneaking past the Magic in a 121-115 road win on Thursday. Stephen Curry drained 12 3-pointers to lead the team with a game-high 56 points on 16 of 25 shooting, Quinten Post added 18 points off the bench while Draymond Green chipped in with 12 points, 10 rebounds and four assists. As a team, the Warriors shot 45 percent from the field and 19 of 45 from the 3-point line as they got off to a slow start and looked to be in deep trouble when trailing by 17 points in the first half. The Warriors flipped the game on its head with a 40-point burst in the third quarter thanks to Curry who put on a show from behind the arc.
Philadelphia 76ers Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers have been in a terrible slump. They’ve now lost 11 of their last 12 games and they will be hoping to put a halt to a nine-game losing streak after falling short to the Knicks in a 110-105 road defeat on Wednesday. Tyrese Maxey led the team with 30 points and five assists, Kelly Oubre Jr added 27 points while Paul George chipped in with 25 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. As a team, the 76ers shot 44 percent from the field and 11 of 34 from the 3-point line as they showed plenty of fight to claw their way back from an early 19-point deficit. Only to go cold and score just three points in the final 2:42 to allow the Knicks off the hook in the end.

76ers vs Warriors Prediction
The Warriors are still missing Jonathan Kuminga, and they are keeping an eye on Jimmy Butler, who is questionable, while the 76ers are still missing Kyle Lowry and Joel Embiid. Win streak meets losing streak as the Warriors visit the slumping 76ers. The Warriors are currently one of the hottest teams in the league, and they must be brimming with confidence after Curry put up a shooting clinic in their last game. Meanwhile, the 76ers have been mired in their worst slump of the season and are still missing a bunch of key players. Sure, the 76ers almost took down the Knicks in their last game. But the Warriors are in a groove and I think they get the win and cover at the reasonable line.
