According to the basketball schedule this is the first of a back-to-back situation for the 76ers. They are in Charlotte tomorrow night according to basketball betting scheduling information.
Philadelphia is 2-3 straight up but 3-2 against the basketball line at home against Golden State in their last five meetings.

It is hard to say this early in the season that a team is in trouble in basketball but that is the case with Golden State. They play in the very tough Western Conference and just don’t have enough weapons to compete versus the basketball betting line. Losing Baron Davis in the off-season was a huge blow and although Stephen Jackson is a good player, he is not a superstar that can carry a team into the playoffs according to basketball experts.
Philadelphia on the other side has started slowly in basketball gambling but plays in the weaker Eastern Conference and has more overall talent with Elton Brand, Andre Miller and Andre Iguodala. Most basketball betting experts believe the 76ers will challenge for a playoff spot before the year is over.
