Golden State Warriors vs Philadelphia 76ers is one of the seven matchups scheduled for Wednesday. This is the second and the final meeting between two teams this season, and the Warriors will look to sweep the series. Golden State is on the second half of a five-game road trip with wins over the Memphis Grizzlies and Brooklyn Nets. Meanwhile, Philadelphia is in the middle of a four-game home stand. They lost the first two games to the Nets and Mavericks.
The Warriors are inconsistent currently but will try to build some momentum before heading back home. Meanwhile, the Sixers have also struggled recently, as Joel Embiid suffered a knee injury last week. He is set to undergo surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee.
Preview
The upcoming game will be the 327th regular season meeting between the Golden State Warriors and the Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers lead 170-156 in the all-time head-to-head matchup against the Warriors. However, Golden State has won six of their last 10 games over the Sixers since 2019.
Starting lineup
The Golden State Warriors have four players on the injury report, including Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins. If Green doesn’t get the green light, the Warriors will likely start with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga and Kevon Looney. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers are also dealing with four injured players, primarily Joel Embiid. The 76ers are expected to start with Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre Jr., Danuel House Jr., Tobias Harris and Paul Reed.
Betting tips & Prediction
Stephen Curry’s over/under for the upcoming game is 29.5 points. This is below his season average of 28.1 points per game and his projected score of 26.8 points. Curry has scored at least 30 points in four of his last six games, so it’s better to bet on him to go over. Tyrese Maxey is averaging 25.9 points per game this season, which is lower than his over/under of 28.5 points heading into Wednesday’s game. He is predicted to go under, considering he has struggled in his past two games. Jonathan Kuminga is projected to score 22.6 points against the Sixers. He is averaging 15.4 points per game this season, while his over/under is 19.5 points.
