Minus Joel Embiid the Philadelphia 76ers will attempt to thwart a Golden State Warriors team that will be extra-motivated. Loser of four of the last six games Golden State appears to be out of sync on the defensive end. Look for the 76ers to have the edge and keep the Warriors reeling.

The Warriors are due for a breakout game and Joel Embiid isn't playing for the 76ers. But my projections aren't feeling the favorite here in Philly, where the Sixers are 24-8. This is the first time they've been a home underdog, and my projections see a great game going down, coming down to a single possession. This is too many points, so we'll take it.
