Philadelphia 76ers vs. Golden State Warriors starting lineups

The 76ers were without Embiid (knee) and Tyrese Maxey (ankle) on Monday. Their status needs to be monitored before the start of the game. Robert Covington (knee) and De’Anthony Melton (back) remain out. Kenneth Lofton Jr. is out with personal reasons. Philly coach Nick Nurse should start Oubre, Patrick Beverley, Nicolas Batum, Tobias Harris and Paul Reed.

The Warriors continue to be without Chris Paul (broken left hand), Gary Payton II (hamstring strain) and Moses Moody (calf injury). Golden State coach Steve Kerr should start Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga and Draymond Green.

Philadelphia 76ers vs. Golden State Warriors betting tips

Steph Curry has an over/under of 27.5 points for the game. He crossed that mark in the past two games and should do so Tuesday as well.

Klay Thompson has an over/under of 19.5 points. This is over his season average of 17.6 points, however, he has scored 20 or more points in three of the past five games. Thompson should breach the 19.5-point mark against Philly as well.

Philadelphia 76ers vs. Golden State Warriors prediction

The Warriors are favored at home against an injury-laden 76ers. After two one-point losses, Golden State needs to turn things around if it is to compete for a playoff spot. There’s no denying that the Warriors have played better in the past three games. However, there’s still a long way to go before they can ensure playoff qualification.

Expect Golden State to cover the spread for a win. It should be a high-scoring game and the team total of both teams should be over 235.5 points.
