Golden State Warriors vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction 1-2-25 NBA Picks

The Philadelphia 76ers and the Golden State Warriors collide at the Chase Center on Thursday night. Here’s a Golden State Warriors vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction. This article will include a Golden State Warriors vs Philadelphia 76ers Pick.

The Philadelphia 76ers have been in great form, as they’ve won eight of their last 11 games. The 76ers will be hoping for a better result in this one after coming up just short of the Kings in a 113-107 road defeat last night. Paul George led the team with 30 points, eight rebounds, and five assists, Tyrese Maxey added 27 points with six assists and four steals while Eric Gordon chipped in with 14 points off the bench. As a team, the 76ers shot 47 percent from the field and 15 of 40 from the 3-point line. They looked to be in control when they poured 32 points in the third quarter to build a 14-point lead.

The 76ers got run down in the fourth quarter, where they got outscored by 33-18 to fall to 13-18 on the season and 8-9 on the road. Guerschon Yabusele had a quiet game of just eight points in 30 minutes of action, while Kyle Lowry finished scoreless in 17 minutes of action before leaving the game early with hip soreness. The 76ers will meet the Nets after this game.

Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors have been in a slump as they’ve lost seven of their last nine games overall and they will be looking to bounce back after getting trampled by the Cavaliers in a 113-95 loss on Monday. Moses Moody led the team with 19 points on seven of eight shooting off the bench, Trayce Jackson-Davis added 16 points with 16 rebounds and two blocks while Jonathan Kuminga chipped in with 18 points and 10 rebounds. As a team, the Warriors shot just 33 percent from the field and nine of 38 from the 3-point line as they struggled against the defensive pressure of the Cavaliers and scored just 11 points in the second quarter.

The Warriors got blown out in the third quarter where they fell behind by as many as 26 points. Stephen Curry had a quiet game of just 11 points, while Draymond Green shot just one of 10 from the field to finish with just two points. The Warriors will face the Grizzlies, Kings, and Heat following this one.

Why the Golden State Warriors will win

• The Warriors have won each of their last seven games against 76ers teams that held a losing record.
• The 76ers have lost six of their last seven games on the second leg of a back-to-back against the Warriors.
• The Warriors have covered the spread in eight of their last nine games against Eastern Conference opponents following a loss.
• The 76ers have failed to cover the spread in each of their last five games as road underdogs on the second leg of a back-to-back.

Total Points Facts

• Each of the Warriors’ last seven games as favorites against the 76ers have gone UNDER the total points line.
• Seven of the 76ers’ last nine road games on the second leg of a back-to-back have gone UNDER the total points line.

Matchup/League Facts

• The Warriors rank 30th in the league for free throw percentage this season (71.2%).
• The Warriors rank 30th in the league for free throws made per game this season (14.9).
• The 76ers rank 30th in the league for assists per game this season (21.8).
• The 76ers rank 30th in the league for Q3 points per game this season (26.1).

The 76ers are still shorthanded with Joel Embiid and Kelly Oubre Jr both out, while the Warriors have ruled out Brandin Podziemski again, and they have Stephen Curry and Kyle Anderson both listed as questionable. The 76ers come into this game as a team in better form, and they still have more than enough firepower to get the win, despite playing without Embiid once again. The Warriors are just in a serious slump at the moment, and I just don’t feel good about backing them as the favorites here. Sure, the 76ers are playing their second game of a back-to-back set, but I still think the 76ers take care of business on the road.
