The Golden State Warriors (32-27) will visit the Philadelphia 76ers (20-38) in the NBA tonight. Tipoff is set for 8:30 p.m. ET from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The game will be broadcast live on ABC.
The Warriors are 7-point road favorites over the Sixers on the spread (Warriors -7), with the over/under set at 227.5 total points. Golden State is a -270 favorite to win outright, while Philadelphia is +220 to pull off the upset.
Let's get to my Warriors vs. 76ers predictions and NBA picks for Saturday, March 1.
Warriors vs 76ers Prediction
Spread
I'm taking the Warriors -7 if Jimmy Butler plays. If he's active, I'll ride out with something else.
Butler is questionable with back spasms. Jonathan Kuminga is close to returning but remains out. For the 76ers, Joel Embiid is not only out, but he's done for the season. Otherwise, it's the usual suspects missing: Jared McCain, Kyle Lowry, and Eric Gordon.
The 76ers are the second-worst against-the-spread team in the NBA at 20-36-2, and they're 9-20-1 at home, second only to the Phoenix Suns. Philly is 2-10 ATS this month.
I'll play this up to -7.5, but only if Butler is active; otherwise, I'm good.
Over/Under
The Sixers have hit more Overs than you think. They're 30-25-3 to the Over this season.
The Warriors have five Overs in eight games with Butler and have been averaging 122 points per game since the deal.
If Butler is active, I'd entertain their total team Over.
My Pick: Warriors -7 (if Jimmy Butler plays)

Golden State Warriors vs Philadelphia 76ers NBA Preview
One prop I like is Kelly Oubre over 23.5 points + rebounds. Our Joe Dellera shouted this out to me while we were talking about the game on Friday, and it tracks.
Oubre is over 23.5 PR in five of nine, but he's gotten this in six straight and nine of ten without Embiid, which is more important.
This is mispriced given Oubre's recent Embiid-less hit-rate, and the Warriors allow the 11th most boards per contest at 44.7.
