Philadelphia 76ers at Golden State Warriors 3/7/20 - NBA Picks & Predictions

The Philadelphia 76ers look for their second consecutive victory on Saturday when visiting the Golden State Warriors. Philadelphia improved to 38-25 following its 125-108 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Thursday. The win snapped a two-game losing streak for the 76ers who are amidst a West Coast swing. Tobias Harris was the leading scorer for Philadelphia with 28 points and the 76ers’ forward pulled down 14 rebounds.

Joel Embiid is leading Philadelphia in scoring and rebounding with averages of 23.3 points and 11.8 rebounds per game, but Embiid is out injured and the leading active scorer is Tobias Harris with an average of 19.5 points per game. Ben Simmons is the leader in assists for Philadelphia with an average of 8.2 per game and is currently the second leading scorer with an average of 16.7 points per game.

The Golden State Warriors look to bounce back from a loss when hosting the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday. Golden State dropped to 14-49 following a 121-113 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Thursday. However, the big news is that Stephen Curry returned for the Golden State Warriors after missing 4 months with a broken hand. Curry scored 23 points in his first game back but it wasn't enough to beat the Raptors.

Stephen Curry is the leading scorer for Golden State with an average of 20.8 points per game but after Thursday's game has only played five games this season. Andrew Wiggins is the second-leading scorer with an average of 20.2 points per game, while Marquese Chriss is the leading rebounder with an average of 6.1 per game. Curry is also leading Golden State in assists with an average of 6.6 per game.

Philadelphia is playing shorthanded without its leading scorer and rebounder Joel Embiid, but Golden State has played short-handed the entire season due to injuries. Golden State was given that boost on Thursday with the return of Stephen Curry to the lineup and his presence will help the Warriors defeat the 76ers on Saturday. The Warriors have defeated Philadelphia in six of their last seven straight up at home and in 11 of the last 12 SU overall against 76ers. Final Score Prediction, Golden State Warriors win and cover ATS 122-115.
