The Philadelphia 76ers have done a good job keeping their heads above water in the 2017-18 NBA campaign and currently own a winning record at 8-6 SU. Philly gets its toughest test of the season with the Golden State Warriors in town on Saturday.
Sportsbook opened the Sixers as 8.5-point home underdogs with a total of 230.
- The Warriors are 7-1 ATS in their last eight Saturday games.
- The UNDER is 4-1 in the Warriors' last five games.
- The OVER is 7-2 in the 76ers' last nine games.
Golden State participated in its biggest letdown game of the season on Thursday when they fell to the Boston Celtics in Beantown. The Dubs have averaged 119.6 points per game this year but mustered up a mere 88 points in the setback. Golden State shot 58.5 percent from the floor in an easy 135-114 victory over Philadelphia last Saturday.
Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons are two of the best building blocks in the NBA and have proven their worth already. Simmons nearly pulled off his third triple-double with 18 points, 10 assists and nine boards to go along with five steals in Wednesday’s win over the Los Angeles Lakers, while Embiid went 14-of-20 from the field to go along with 15 rebounds, seven assists and seven blocks - becoming the first player to reach those numbers since blocks began kept as a statistic in 1973.
When the Warriors and 76ers play in the City of Brotherly Love, the UNDER is paying out. In the last four matchups between the teams in Philly, the UNDER is 4-0.
