Golden State Warriors vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction

The Warriors have ruled out Stephen Curry again and they have Jimmy Butler III, Al Horford, Jonathan Kuminga, Trayce Jackson-Davis, and Quinten Post all listed as questionable. The 76ers have ruled out Joel Embiid with Quentin Grimes and Paul George currently ruled as questionable. The Warriors have never fared well without Curry in the lineup and we’re seeing more examples of that on their current slide.

To be fair, the Warriors did pretty well not to get blown out by the Thunder in their last game, especially with Butler III not playing in the second half. But it’s the 76ers who come into this one as the form team with Maxey leading the way. This is definitely one of those games where you should check the lineups before tipoff with the injury cloud hanging over the entire Warriors roster. However, at this stage, I am more comfortable taking the 76ers to take advantage of a depleted Warriors outfit.
