Golden State Warriors vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction & Picks - NBA

Prediction published on 2/28/25, 7:24 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 2/28/25 at 7:36 PM in NBA Picks

By 6.5 points at the betting sites, the Warriors will be favored on Saturday in Philadelphia to beat the 76ers, following Curry's historic night of 56 points in a 121-115 win over the Magic in Orlando. It was another top-notch display from Curry, who scored 22 in the third quarter alone, more than the Magic's entire team had 21. Thursday night marked the third time Curry has made 12 three-pointers and the 14th game for him where he has scored 50 or more points. He literally won the Warriors that game because his teammates had a terrible offensive night in which Butler seemed uncomfortable shooting due to back spasms and in 32 minutes on the court he only scored 5 points. Because of this, newcomer Butler remains questionable for the upcoming game against the 76ers.

Finally, the Sixers and the team's medical team decided to end Embiid's season. He made several attempts to return to his best level during the season, but his knee never allowed him to do so and there is now speculation about an alleged withdrawal from the Cameroonian star.

This news, added to the active streak of 9 consecutive losses, still does not bury the 76ers' chance of catching up with the Bulls who hold the last spot in the Play-in, but the chances of a team that seemed to be made to win everything, to win the NBA at this point are minimal.
