The Golden State Warriors are favored at home on Wednesday night, as they host the Philadelphia 76ers in a game that can be seen on ESPN. This is a tough spot for the 76ers, as they will be completing a long six-game road trip. The 76ers lost three of their first four on the trip before playing in Sacramento on Monday. The Warriors have had two days off since playing at home against Toronto on Monday. The Warriors have won 7 of the last 10 meetings against the 76ers and they have also taken 7 of the last 10 at home against Philadelphia. Seven of the last ten meetings at Golden State have gone under the total. Let’s look at the game and NBA picks.

Odds Analysis
Philadelphia had played pretty well on the road until this trip and even with their struggles of late they were still 5-4 in their first nine road games. The Warriors were 8-1 in their first nine home games. The teams met twice last season with each team winning and covering on the road. The Warriors won 107-96 in Philly, while the 76ers won 108-98 at Golden State. Even with that road win, the 76ers are just 3-7 in their last ten at Golden State but they are 5-5 ATS. Seven of those ten went under the total.
Philadelphia 76ers
The 76ers are averaging 108.1 points per contest which is 14th in the league. They are hitting from 3-point range at 37.2% which is 2nd-best in the league. They are giving up 106.3 points per game and they really struggle with 3-point defense, as they give up 36.3%, which is 25th in the league. Joel Embiid leads the team in points at 21.4 per game, Tyrese Maxey leads the team with 4.6 assists per game and Andre Drummond leads the team with 10.4 rebounds per game.
Golden State Warriors
The Warriors lead the league in scoring at 113.9 points per contest. They are first in the league in field goal percentage at 47.4%. They are second in the league in defense, giving up just 100.9 points per contest. Stephen Curry leads the team with 29.5 points per game, while Draymond Green leads the team at 7.6 assists and 7.5 rebounds per contest.
Golden State has the best record in the NBA and they figure to be even more dangerous going forward. Klay Thompson is now practicing and he is expected to return from injury sometime next month.
NBA Picks
There is no question the Warriors are going to be a solid home favorite in this contest. The 76ers are a capable team but you have to wonder whether or not they will just mail it in if they fall behind in this game. It is the last game of the road trip for the 76ers and that is always tricky. I definitely lean toward Golden State in this game but the better play may be to take the Warriors in the second half. If the 76ers are to put forth a good effort it should be early. Golden State may very well cover the full game line, but I’ll be focused on taking the Warriors at the half.
