Analysis

Even though Philadelphia has key players back and covered the number in six of the last seven games against the Warriors, bettors should not bet against a Warriors team that is in the middle of an eleven game winning streak, clicking on all cylinders and continuing to optimize their integration of DeMarcus Cousins.

Steph Curry is back to hitting nothing but net on thirty foot, last second shots and his enthusiastic and fluid play has elevated the entire offense and pace. Though the Dubs could have a bit of a coming down to earth after returning home from a long road trip, we can only side with the Warriors -9.5 and over 240.5 if we are betting this game.
