The Philadelphia 76ers travel to the Chase Center to take on the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night. Here’s a Warriors vs 76ers Prediction. This article will include a Warriors vs 76ers Pick.
Philadelphia 76ers Betting Preview
The Philadelphia 76ers have been slow starters this season but they are starting to heat up as they are now gunning for a fifth straight victory after running past the Clippers in a 128-113 road win last night. Tyrese Maxey led the team with 29 points and six assists, Dominick Barlow added 26 points with 16 rebounds on 10 of 16 shooting while Joel Embiid tallied 24 points on eight of 19 shooting. As a team, the 76ers shot 48 percent from the field and 17 of 39 from the 3-point line as they stormed out of the gates with 38 points in the first quarter to take an early 23-point lead. This was more than enough to hold off a late rally from the Clippers who woke up in the second half. The only blemish from the win was VJ Edgecombe who had a night to forget as he shot just one of 11 from the field for his five points.
Golden State Warriors Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors have cooled off recently as they’ve lost four of their last six games overall and they will be hoping to bounce back here after getting stopped by the Pistons in a 131-124 home defeat on Friday. Stephen Curry led the team with 23 points, De’Anthony Melton added 18 points off the bench while Gui Santos chipped in with 16 points on seven of nine shooting. As a team, the Warriors shot just 44 percent from the field and 18 of 52 from the 3-point line, but they had no answers for the Pistons on the defensive end. They were always fighting an uphill battle after allowing 77 points in the first half. Brandin Podziemski had a night to forget as he shot just one of eight from the field for his 11 points with four turnovers.

Warriors vs 76ers Prediction
The 76ers will be without the suspended Paul George, while the Warriors have ruled out Stephen Curry, Seth Curry, Jonathan Kuminga, and Jimmy Butler III. The 76ers were the most disappointing team at the start of the season, but they’ve gotten healthy and are finally playing some decent basketball, while the Warriors have struggled lately with the injuries starting to pile up. I get why the Warriors are favorites at home, as their fans really give them a lift, but the 76ers are in a groove right now. I think they can take down a banged-up Warriors team in this spot.
