There were a lot of expectations for the Philadelphia 76ers and Golden State Warriors in NBA predictions for this season. However, neither team has come close to reaching that, which makes this matchup intriguing as both teams try to figure things out.

Injuries have been the biggest issue for the 76ers, which does put their season into perspective. They had been playing well, but a 113-107 loss to the Sacramento Kings changed things. Then, in the Warriors’ last game, they lost 113-95 to the Cleveland Cavaliers, and their slide in the eyes of the BetUS sportsbook continues.

76ers vs Warriors Betting Preview

Philadelphia Reaches Turning Point, Take 2½ Points

This season has been far from what the 76ers had hoped. In the offseason, they got off Tobias Harris’s awful contract but hoped to replace him with Paul George. Signing George headlined NBA news, and made the 76ers a serious contender in the Eastern Conference.

 

However, Joel Embiid has only played 11 games, George has dealt with injuries while not playing well and Tyrese Maxey has also missed time. That led to a horrible start to the season for the 76ers, who are trying to climb out of that hole now. George had a good game against the Kings with 30 points, eight rebounds and five assists, hoping to turn a corner, averaging 16.1 points per game.

Over the last 15 games, the 76ers are starting to inch closer to how they were expected to perform this season. They have gone 10-5, which is beginning to help turn things around for a team that has way too much talent to have the record it currently has.

On the other hand, the Warriors have been the exact opposite. They started the season amazing with a 12-3 record. However, they have gone 4-13 since. That is why, even though the 76ers have their own issues, they are trending in the right direction, making them the best option for NBA picks.

Warriors’ Offense Shortcoming Leads to Under 217½

One of the biggest reasons for the Warriors‘ recent struggles has been their offense. Over the last 15 games, they have been averaging 104.5 points, which is the fourth-lowest in the league.

It is surprising to see a team led by Stephen Curry struggle this much offensively. This season, the two-time MVP is averaging 22 points per game, but against the Cavaliers, he could only muster up 11. If the Warriors’ best offensive player is going to be this inconsistent, it is hard to back their offense.

The supporting cast around Curry needs to step up and fill in some of the gaps he is leaving, but that has been hard. Jonathan Kuminga and Andrew Wiggins are the next leading scorers on the team, but both are just under 17 points per game, which has not been enough help for Curry.

Then there is the 76ers’ offense. The unit’s issues have also been a big reason they got off to a slow start. The offense has suffered between Embiid missing time and George’s poor play. Even in this good stretch, the 76ers only average 110.5 points per game, ranked 21st. When Embiid plays, he has been good, but he sat out the loss to the Kings, which could lean NBA betting toward the under.
