We had two losing and one winning tip on this game. Like all tipsters we forecasted a close game, a couple of points either way, so we went with a low stakes value bet on the 76ers at 2.20 (they later lengthened to 2.456).

However what no tipsters predicted was a 34 point absolute mauling by GSW. Our Player Prop bet tips were 1/2, Embiid beat us, we beat Wiggins.

Stephen Curry scores 30 points, makes all 8 3-point attempts in Warriors’ 139-105 win over 76ers

By ERIC HE AP Basketball Writer The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Stephen Curry had 30 points and made all eight of his 3-point attempts, and the Golden State Warriors beat the Philadelphia 76ers 139-105 on Thursday night.

Golden State led 35-19 after the first quarter and extended a 16-point halftime lead to 25 at the end of the third quarter.

Curry had 24 points by the end of the third quarter after going 6 of 6 from 3-point range. He made consecutive 3-pointers early in the fourth to put the Warriors up by 30 and left the game as both coaches emptied their benches minutes later.

Jonathan Kuminga added 20 points off the bench.

Joel Embiid led the Sixers with 28 points and 14 rebounds.

Curry played through a right thumb sprain with tape on his right hand, and Embiid played through a left foot sprain after missing Wednesday’s loss to the Kings.

Takeaways

76ers: Philadelphia had their “Big Three” of Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Paul George on the court, but have dropped back-to-back games after winning four straight. The 76ers gave up a season high in points, allowing Curry to get going and conceding a number of open looks from beyond the arc.

Warriors: Golden State got a needed wire-to-wire win against a 76ers team with all three of its stars healthy. The Warriors, who had lost 13 of 17, showed glimpses of their crisp and efficient offense that propelled them to a 12-3 start.

Key moment

Curry had 13 points in the third, including back-to-back deep 3s, the second of which he banked in to put the Warriors ahead 89-68 with 4:49 left in the third quarter. Curry then raised both arms to his head in mock disbelief.

Key stat

The Warriors shot 56% (22 of 39) from 3-point range and 61% from the field overall.

This is how we previewed this game....

Big East-West coast rivalry between the Warriors and the 76ers, so we are going to take a careful look at what the main tipping sites are saying about the game, so we can make the best forecast possible.

Dimers - predicting a 111-109 win for the Warriors, and a +3 bet on the Sixers.
Clutch Points - tipping a handicap line bet on Philly
Pickswise - tbc
Sportskeeda - tbc
Betting Odds - forecasting a 110-108 Warriors win and tipping 76ers +2.5 and Over 217.5
Sportsline - have modelled a 111-108 win for GSW, and tipping small bets on Sixers +3, Over 218.5 and Warriors on the moneyline.

This is a tough game to tip, we think the sportsbooks have the points total about right, and a moneyline win for either team would raise any eyebrows.

Our pre game prediction model currently has the 76ers as a 47.2% chance of winning, which implies odds of 2.12, so at 2.20 there is marginally better value than model. Plus, the Sixers are 4/5 whereas the Warriors are 1/5.

Like all tipsters we forecasted a close game, a couple of points either way, so we went with a low stakes value bet on the 76ers at 2.20 (they later lengthened to 2.456). However what no tipsters predicted was a 34 point absolute mauling by GSW.
