The Golden State Warriors welcome the Philadelphia 76ers to the Chase Center on Thursday night in one of the several games scheduled for the evening. The matchup features the Western Conference's 10th seed, the Warriors, against the Eastern Conference's 11th seed, the 76ers.
The Warriors come into this encounter on the back of a poor run of form, with one win in the last five games. Their previous win was the 109-105 home win against the Phoenix Suns on Friday. Star player Steph Curry and Jonathan Kuminga combined for 56 points to take down Kevin Durant and Co.
The Philadelphia 76ers, despite starting the season in bad form, have been able to climb up the Eastern standings. They were on a four-game win streak from Dec. 23-30, with the most notable victory coming away against the champions, the Boston Celtics. However, the run was brought to an end on Wednesday night in the 113-107 away loss at the Sacramento Kings.
