Golden State has been a double-digit favorite 21 times this season and has covered the spread in 13 of those matchups. The Warriors were a 17.5-point home favorite versus the Mavericks in their most recent game and blew Dallas out by 20 in a 127-107 romp. They also covered as a 17.5-point road favorite versus the Lakers on January 14, beating L.A. 116-98.
Why is this relevant? Because according to oddsmakers from online sports book BetDSI, the Warriors are a whopping 17.5-point road favorite versus the 76ers at 5:00PM ET on Saturday evening. They’re 28-17 against the spread this season and 16-7 ATS on the road, while the Sixers are 21-25 at the betting window overall and just 8-12 ATS at home.

The Warriors have covered in 62.2% of their games this season, which is the second-best ATS mark in the league behind the Spurs (67.4%). And whether they’re a slight road favorite or a double-digit fave, the Warriors just keeping covering.
