Team Overviews
The Warriors. DO NOT underestimate the Sixers. The last time these two teams met, back in January, the Warriors barely escaped Philly with a 108-105 victory. Golden State looks to add another win at home after defeating the Timberwolves, Clippers and Mavericks this past week.
The Dubs looked impressive over their 128-120 win over Dallas Friday night. The team shot for 48.9% while Klay Thompson had a great night finishing with 40 points, including nine 3-pointers. Stephen Curry had a 33-point night draining five threes of his own.
Warriors fun fact: GSW needs to win 8 of its final 10 games to finish 73-9, which would be the most prolific regular season in NBA history.
The 76ers. Talk about a mismatch, yet I still can't help but worry. The Sixers are coming in after a tough loss last night to the Portland Trailblazers 108-105. They look to play spoiler in hopes of giving Golden State their first home loss of the season.
Highlight Predictions
- Stephen Curry and his 3-point friends. Curry and company have made 938 3-pointers this season, the most recorded in NBA history. They look to add onto that list with even more 3's!
- Draymond Green. The league's best defender looks to continue his dominance against Philly. I smell another triple double coming?
- Marreese Speights vs the 76ers. It's always a special game when Mo Buckets takes on the team that drafted him back in 2008. Let's see what he's got against his former team.
- Antawn Jamison. You heard it right! Antawn Jamison will be doing a pre-game photo-op at section 111 from 3:30-5pm for folks who are American Express Card Members. Could this be an opportunity for him to come off the bench? Hey, a guy can dream right!
Win Prediction: The Warriors take the win at home 115-112. Another close one against Philly!
