Game Preview Philadelphia 76ers @ Golden State Warriors
The Philadelphia 76ers travel west to face the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday, December 4, in a cross-conference battle featuring two teams with championship expectations and MVP-caliber talent.
The Sixers have surged this season behind the dominant play of Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, combining size, pace, and offensive firepower. Golden State, on the other hand, is trying to regain consistency as their veteran core continues to adjust to age and rotation shifts.
These teams split the season series last year, and both enter this game needing a quality win for momentum and playoff positioning.

Philadelphia 76ers Outlook
The Sixers come in at 14-7 and remain one of the league’s best teams in net rating. Joel Embiid is averaging 29.8 points, 11.5 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game while controlling the paint on both ends.
Tyrese Maxey has taken a leap, providing speed and scoring from the perimeter. Tobias Harris and Kelly Oubre Jr. round out a team that plays physical, half-court basketball and thrives at the free-throw line.
Philadelphia’s size and rebounding give them a potential edge against Golden State’s smaller lineup, especially if they can control tempo and limit turnovers.

Golden State Warriors Outlook
The Warriors sit at 11-11 and continue to deal with rotational inconsistencies. Stephen Curry is still elite, averaging 27.6 points and shooting above 40% from deep, but Klay Thompson has been inconsistent, and Andrew Wiggins has yet to regain his All-Star form.
Draymond Green anchors the defense and orchestrates from the post, but Golden State ranks outside the top 15 in defensive efficiency and struggles with turnovers.
Still, they remain dangerous at home, where their pace and shot-making tend to spike.

Key Matchup
Joel Embiid vs Kevon Looney / Draymond Green is a significant mismatch on paper. Embiid has the power, touch, and finesse to dominate inside, and Golden State has struggled to contain physical bigs all season.
Meanwhile, the perimeter duel between Curry and Maxey will dictate pace. If Curry gets loose in transition and off screens, the Warriors can hang with Philly’s firepower.
