76ers Have Not Beaten Warriors In Over Four Years
The last time the Philadelphia 76ers topped the Golden State Warriors came on March 2, 2013. The 76ers leading scorers in that game? Jrue Holiday and Evan Turner. Since then, the 76ers have dropped eight straight vs the Warriors – though they have gone a respectable 5-3 ATS. Can Philly exorcise their demons in Oakland Saturday night?
The 76ers saw their five-game winning streak snapped in their most recent outing – thanks to a late De’Aaron Fox jumper. Philly’s starters all played well but the bench was dreadful, shooting 6-for-18 with a collective -17 rating. The biggest takeaway from that game was Ben Simmons effort to control himself, as the rookie shot 6-for-8 after going a combined 12-for-35 in his previous two.
The Warriors enter this contest riding a five-game winning streak that has seen them outscore opponents by an average of 21.6 ppg. That stretch includes a 125-101 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves despite Kevin Durant not playing. Durant is expected to play in this one despite dealing with a thigh injury.
