Warriors vs 76ers Prediction

The current betting odds have the 76ers listed as a 1 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The 76ers have looked good in their games this season with their 30-19 record overall which has them near the top of the East right now. They have also looked great on their home court this season with their 17-8 home record. They haven't looked great lately with 2 losses in a row now and they received a big blow to their team with Joel Embiid being out for the year now, but this team still has a lot of talent in their lineup without Embiid and they will be looking to bounce back at home with a much needed win to stop the bleeding as of late. Meanwhile, the Warriors haven't looked great in their games this season with their 22-25 record overall which has them near the bottom of the West and barely fighting for a play-in spot for the playoffs. They have looked bad in their road games too with their 9-12 road record this season. They did pull off a road win in Brooklyn the other night but they are only 5-5 in their last 10 games as they have been a really up and down team lately. The 76ers haven't looked good lately without Embiid but they have shown they can win games at home without him and the Warriors haven't looked that great lately either so this is the perfect situation for the 76ers to get a much needed bounce back win on their home court. The best way to place a bet here is on the 76ers to cover the spread in this game. 

Warriors 76ers Prediction:  Our NBA Pick for Wednesday, February 7, 2024 (7:30 pm ET start time) is 76ers 111 Warriors 103.

Notable Quotes


“Against that kind of switching defense, if you’re kind of jogging through stuff it’s really easy to just switch and stay in front. So I thought the first five minutes of the second half really set a good tone. Our guys were much sharper and harder with the cuts.” - Steve Kerr after his team’s win against the Nets in their game on Monday.


“I don't want to make excuses. Some of those guys are out there not even close to 100 percent and they're trying their best and they're just running out of gas because of so much illness stuff they're coming out of.” - Nick Nurse after his team’s loss against the Mavericks in their game on Monday.
