The Golden State Warriors have made some changes and aren't the same run-and-gun team as they have been in the past, but they still pick their spots to play up-tempo. The defense has been a bit better, and they started out the season looking like the changes were making a difference. They jumped out to a 6-2 start, but it was very short lived. The warriors have since been losing at the same rate as prior seasons at 5-16 in their last 21 games. The Sixers got off to a woeful 3-13 start, but have played at a much higher level since, going 9-5 in their last 14. It is pretty obvious these teams are heading in opposite directions, and that is not visible in the line here. The Sixers are now 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27, including 6-1 ATS on the road. I'll back Philadelphia in this one.
