Philadelphia 76ers at Golden State Warriors odds, picks and prediction

USA Today Sportsbookwire

The Philadelphia 76ers (10-8) stop by the Chase Center Wednesday for a 10 p.m. ET game on ESPN against the Golden State Warriors (15-2). Below, we look at the 76ers vs. Warriors odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions, and bets.

Philly has won two of its past eight games, all without big Joel Embiid, including the most recent, which was a 102-94 win at the Sacramento Kings Monday. The Sixers are 9-8-1 ATS and 7-10-1 O/U with the eighth-best net rating (plus-2.5).

Golden State is crushing teams right now and enters on a four-game winning streak. The Warriors are 12-4-1 ATS and 6-11 O/U with the best net rating in the NBA (plus-12.9). In fact, this Golden State team is starting to rival previous championship-winning Warriors teams in net efficiency.

These teams split last year's season series 1-1 with the road team winning and covering each and the Under hitting in both games.

76ers at Warriors odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 110, 76ers 103

Money line

PASS with a slight "lean" to the 76ers (+500) because I "lean" to Philly covering the spread and would love to sprinkle on the underdog's fat money line.

However, we don't even know who's officially suiting up for the Sixers and the Warriors could beat a fully healthy Philly squad.

Against the spread

"LEAN" to the 76ERS +10.5 (-108) because Philly head coach Doc Rivers has the Sixers playing teams tough despite being shorthanded. But, there's no way we can bet this game until we know who's in Philly's starting 5.

Plus you have to think a vast majority of the betting market is behind Golden State and all the trends support the Warriors in this spot. Typically, there's value in fading such lopsided markets because most people lose in sports betting.

Finally, the backdoor is always open for a team that shoots as well as Philly. For instance, the Sixers have the sixth-best effective field goal percentage and the fourth-best true shooting percentage.

Over/Under

"LEAN" to the UNDER 216.5 (-110) because this is a "Pros vs. Joe's" game, according to Pregame.com.

A slight majority of the money is on the Under whereas nearly 65% of the bets placed are on the Over. Typically, in sports betting, it's wise to follow the money when it's counter to the public.

That said, I'd rather play Philly plus the points if Harris and/or Curry play because of Philly's aforementioned strong shooting percentages.
