Will Steph Curry and Joel Embiid Play Tonight? Golden State Warriors vs Philadelphia 76ers – Team News, Lineups, and Predictions

The Golden State Warriors take on the Philadelphia 76ers tonight. For the Warriors, they have had a difficult season. The absence of Klay Thompson has had a huge impact on them, as the team has been struggling so far, with few players able to provide consistent attacking output. However, Stephen Curry has played at an MVP level and carried the team on his back.

The Philadelphia 76ers have been fantastic this season. Currently, they have the first seed in the Eastern Conference, and are a solid championship contenders. Furthermore, Joel Embiid has been playing at an MVP level. However, the knee injury to Embiid has derailed some of their momentum. But Doc Rivers continues to do a great job with the players around him.

With that in mind, let us preview the Warriors taking on the 76ers.
