Can the 76ers' Offense Overcome the Warriors' Home-Court Advantage?

Game Preview

The Philadelphia 76ers roll into San Francisco riding a four-game winning streak, looking to extend their hot stretch against a struggling Golden State Warriors squad. While the Warriors hold a slight edge in the season series at 51.6% wins, their recent form has been lackluster with just a 30% win rate over their last 20 games.

Offense has been a major issue for the Warriors, who have averaged just 105.6 points over that stretch while allowing 110.5 points per game. Their shooting numbers have dipped to 42.4% from the field and a shade above 33% from three-point range. The Warriors have also struggled to control the boards, grabbing nearly 46 rebounds per game.

In contrast, the 76ers have found their stride offensively. Over their last 10 games, they are averaging 111.3 points per contest on 46.8% shooting and a blistering 36.4% clip from beyond the arc. Joel Embiid and company have also dominated the glass, hauling in 41 rebounds per game while dishing out 22 assists.

The key battle will be on the defensive end, where the 76ers have tightened the screws lately by holding opponents under 109 points per game. If they can maintain that stifling defense while continuing their efficient offensive output, the 76ers could extend their winning streak in a tough road environment against the reeling Warriors.
