The Golden State Warriors vs Philadelphia 76ers matchup at the Wells Fargo Center is one of seven games on the NBA schedule for Wednesday. It's the second and final meeting of the season between the two teams. The Warriors will try to get the sweep after a 119-107 win at the Chase Center.
Golden State is looking for their third win of their ongoing five-game road trip, while Philly is 0-2 in their four-game home stand. It will be another tough game for the Sixers, as they are without reigning MVP Joel Embiid.
Jonathan Kuminga might receive boos for his part in Embiid's injury. He accidentally sat on Embiid's knee at the Bay Area back on Jan. 30. Embiid was later diagnosed with a partial tear on his left meniscus.
