The Golden State Warriors will square off against the Philadelphia 76ers in a clash between Eastern and Western Conference teams on Thursday. The 76ers are on the road to take on the Warriors at the Chase Center in San Francisco, California.

Both teams lost their previous games as the Warriors fell to the Cleveland Cavaliers at home on Monday, while the 76ers lost to the Sacramento Kings on the road on Wednesday.

The Warriors have been struggling to find their groove as of late, winning only one in their last five matchups. After starting the season with a 10-2 win-loss record, the once-dynastic Golden State has now slid to the 10th spot in the Western Conference standings with a .500 record at 16-16.

Former NBA MVP and four-time champion Stephen Curry has struggled to shoot the ball this season, only averaging 22.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game. His current scoring average is his lowest since 2011 when he played just 26 matchups due to a foot injury.

Curry is also on pace to shoot his lowest field goal percentage ever, as he is currently putting up a 43.7% clip from the field in over 16 attempts per game. Curry is also shooting an elite 40.7% from 3 on over 10 attempts per game.

Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers have a 13-18 record, good for the 11th seed in the East. They are also 8-9 on the road. However, in its last 10 games, Philadelphia is 7-3.

The Sixers are led by guard Tyrese Maxey, who is averaging 25.9 points, 5.4 assists and 2.1 steals per game. Former MVP Joel Embiid also adds 23.7 points and 7.0 rebounds per game as the 76ers look to climb the standings.
