With the Golden State Warriors just about the rights to the last safe playoff spot, they host the Philadelphia 76ers, the Eastern Conference three-man team. The Warriors need this game a lot more than the 76ers, and they’re a good home team.

Warriors vs 76ers Prediction
Since the Warriors are playing this game at the Chase Center, they have a much better chance of winning this game. Joel Embiid and James Harden, who are questionable, also give the Warriors more hope of winning this game.
The 76ers are 3.5 games ahead of the Cavaliers for the 3rd seed, and unless they want to take the 2nd seed from the Celtics, they’re pretty secure in their position. So you have the luxury of not having to play Harden and Embiid. However, if they don’t, they will really struggle to keep up with the Warriors’ offense, and the Warriors are a much better defensive team when playing at home.
The 76ers are 4-1 in their last five games but will struggle without their two stars. If they play, Embiid will cause big troubles as he advances his MVP campaign. Harden would also cause problems as the Warriors are still without Andrew Wiggins, their top full-back.
The Warriors should be able to walk away with the win and if Embiid and Harden aren’t playing, covering shouldn’t be a problem.
Warriors vs 76ers player prop picks
Stephen Curry over 26.5 points (+105) Bet $100 to get $205. DraftKings has the best odds, click here
After a road trip, Curry will finally be back playing in front of his home crowd, which we know the Warriors are a lot better. The Warriors’ last two home games have been two solid home wins. Not only is this prop a great value, but Curry is more than capable of smashing this prop. We often saw him alone in the first half too. When Curry heats up early, we see him fly past that prop as he leads the Warriors to a much-needed win for the third straight season.
Draymond Green over 5.5 Assists (-155) Bet $100 to collect $164. DraftKings has the best odds, click here
Green averages 6.8 assists per game during the season. When Krieger go off or the offense rolls, you can expect Green to be around or above his average on assists. This line, which is 5.5, only gives away free money. He’s covered that prop in his last two games while accumulating five assists in the previous two games. Green shouldn’t have any trouble getting past that support, especially since the Warriors are finally back home and set to put up some big offensive numbers.
Kevon Looney on 9.5 rebounds (-113) Bet $100 to collect $117. DraftKings has the best odds, click here
The last time Looney faced the 76ers this season, he ripped down 11 boards and racked up nine assists. He wrote down numbers. Not only that, he’s now covered that prop in six of his last seven games. He’ll be in a good position to cover whether or not Embiid is playing because the 76ers will be playing against big men that will allow Looney to stay in the game and rack up numbers. His streak should continue, especially since the Warriors’ defense is better at home, meaning Looney can help close stops by ripping down boards.
