The Warriors take on the 76ers in Philadelphia on Monday night, as Golden State attempts to solidify its standing in the packed Western Conference playoff race.
Golden State had a four-game cover streak against the spread (ATS) prior to Saturday's 5-point loss to the Boston Celtics. Stephen Curry has been on a roll recently, averaging a ridiculous 39.9 points per game (PPG) over his last 10 games.
Philadelphia has won four straight games due in large part to its dominant defense. The team's recent form inspires optimism that it is indeed capable of holding onto the No. 1 seed down the stretch.
Since April 10, the Sixers have held opponents to 103.8 points per 100 possessions, a mark that ranks first in the league over that stretch per NBA Advanced Stats.
The Sixers possess a collection of lanky defenders and players capable of playing switch-defense — most notably, Ben Simmons. Philadelphia's defensive versatility on the perimeter enables it to stick with most teams defensively. But alas, there is no such thing as truly shutting down Curry.
Doc Rivers' bunch certainly has more than enough talent and defensive discipline to cover this nine-point spread. Our latest PRO Report shows that sharp bettors are backing Philadelphia to do just that on Monday night.
