The model projects Warriors 114 – 111 76ers, a margin of about 3.3 points in favor of the Warriors and a total around 226 points. Expect a game at a standard NBA pace. The 76ers played yesterday: fatigue often shows in the fourth quarter. The Warriors will be without Kristaps Porzingis or Moses Moody (and 1 other). The 76ers will be without Jabari Walker or Tacko Fall (and 2 others).

  • The 76ers need to win the pace battle to stay in the game.
