Warriors also unstoppable in Philly?
The Philadelphia 76ers get a visit from the league leaders in the West, the Golden State Warriors.
Philadelphia 76ers – Statistics & current form
The Sixers await the Warriors atop the Western Conference standings on 12/12/2021, and the home side cannot rely on home court advantage: Only five of the eleven games at home in the Wells Fargo Center were victorious. Most recently, the men around top centre Joel Embiid had to bow to Utah.
An opponent who comes from the same weight class of the upcoming opponent. For this reason, the result, which was also a clear 96-118, can be interpreted as a pointer to the course of the upcoming encounter.
Once again, the loss of Ben Simmons on defence became negatively apparent from the 76ers’ point of view: only nine teams perform worse than the Sixers in terms of defensive rating in the NBA.
Golden State Warriors – Statistics & current form
While the home side is rarely convincing on home soil, the Californians have an impressive win rate of almost 78 percent away from home. Although they lost their last game away from home, they also played the Suns from Phoenix, who are currently the strongest team in the NBA after the Warriors.
The rest of the league is also getting restless: Although Klay Thompson, a very strong player, is still waiting for his comeback, the Warriors are playing in a dominant way. A performance that could not have been foreseen in this form before the start of the season.
Above all, the team is being carried by Stephen Curry, who is once again as strong as ever, averaging the most threes per league game (5.5) and is only topped in scoring by his former team-mate Kevin Durant of the Nets.
The “Chef” is also on the verge of overtaking previous record holder Ray Allen in the eternal list of most threes made in the NBA. He is just ten successful attempts from downtown short of that feat.
Philadelphia 76ers – Golden State Warriors Tip
For the match between the Philadelphia 76ers and Golden State Warriors, the prediction on an away win represents the first choice of the betting base. The visitors are currently unstoppable even without their full duo of the “Splash Brothers” and have the best record in the NBA.
The Sixers, for their part, are not performing as strongly as they did last year and this is hardly surprising, as without Ben Simmons on the wing, coach Doc Rivers’ squad has lost quality. The betting is backed up by the statistics: Head coach Steve Kerr’s team has won seven of the last eight games in Philly!
