Prediction
76ers 121, Warriors 105
Moneyline (ML)
The 76ers (-834) are heavy home favorites against the Warriors (+550) on the money line. It makes sense. They have lost only two games at home all season and the Warriors are 3-20 on the road. With or without Joel Embiid, the Warriors are no match for the 76ers without Curry and Thompson, who are both expected to be out for the whole season. A ML wager is just too cost prohibitive, so we’ll PASS in favor of the spread.
New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the 76ers returns a profit of only $1.20.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The 76ers are favored by -12.5 points (+105). They have been pretty consistent at home at covering the spread. They are 13-8-1 ATS at Wells Fargo Center, but they are only 10-8-1 ATS when favored at home. They are also only 2-3 ATS when favored by double digits.
The Warriors (+12.5, -125) are 11-12 ATS on the road this season. They have been underdogs in every single road game.
Still, this will likely be a blowout. Take the 76ERS (-12.5, +105) to win by 13 points.
Over/Under (O/U)
The total is set at 212.5 points. Warriors games have gone Over the projected point total in three of their last four outings. 76ers games have hit the Under in four of five.
At home, Philadelphia’s games are split 11-11-1 O/U, while Warriors games on the road are 11-12 O/U.
The Warriors give up an average of 114 points per game, so I expect the game to go OVER 212.5 (-121).
