Golden State Warriors 11+ win margin (+180)
We don’t often see the Sixers get beaten by double digits, but there’s a good chance of that happening in tonight’s game. Joel Embiid left their last game with a calf injury, so there’s a possibility he might not even play. It would be dumb for him to play and risk further injury with the playoffs just around the corner. Another big piece of the Sixers team is also doubtful and that’s James Harden, who is bothered by an Achilles injury. Just a minor tweak of that could be devastating, so I think the 76ers will be cautious with both of their stars. That leaves them with Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris against the defending champions, who are 29-7 SU at Chase Center this season. With all due respect to those players, there’s no chance they can keep up with a Warriors team that’s still very much in the running for one of the top 4 seeds in the West and needs a win badly. The Warriors are coming off back-to-back wins over Houston and Dallas and this will be their first home game in more than a week, so expect a packed Chase Center behind them as they look for their 15th win over Philly in the last 20 meetings.

Klay Thompson 3+ made threes (-280)
Klay Thompson didn’t have the best of games against Dallas, scoring just 9 points and taking only 9 shots in total. That was a stark contrast to the previous game in which he had 29 on 11-for-21 shooting against the Rockets. His form has been up and down lately, but as we get closer to the postseason I expect him to ramp up his production. The Warriors won’t get far without Thompson playing at a high level, especially if Andrew Wiggins doesn’t come back. Thompson is averaging 3.6 threes per game this month on 38.7%, which is a bit down from 54 per game and 45.4% last month, but still very effective. Philadelphia has done a solid job at defending the three-ball this year, but without Embiid and Harden their defensive scheme would be messed up as they try to scramble defending the Splash brothers. I expect at least 3 threes from Klay and he’s done that 8 times in 12 games in March.
Stephen Curry 4+ made threes (-210)
Another guy I’m expecting to have a big game is Steph Curry, who is lighting it up in March with an average of 30.2 points per game in his last 10. He’s at 44% from deep during that stretch, while at home he’s shooting it at 45.2%. Scoring 4 threes in a game is almost automatic for him these days as he’s done it 8 times in the last 10 games which is really impressive considering only 2 of those games were at Chase Center. For his career he averages 3.7 threes per game in 22 games against the 76ers, and just 3 games ago he dropped 49 on them, which was his second time in the last 5 meetings he had gone over 40 points. Golden State cannot afford to lose as the Timberwolves are just 1 game behind in the standings, so I expect a sharp Curry leading the charge on offense.
