This is a must-win for the Warriors, and we expect their best player to shoot lights out tonight against a team he has had success against this season.
We're getting James Harden at a really good number tonight because of how low his totals were on Monday night. He had just eight points and seven assists, but that was far from what he normally does. Just two days earlier, Harden put up 23 and 13 against the same team.
In the regular season, Harden averaged 32.5 points + assists per game against the Nets. Look for Monday night to be an outlier, as Harden leads the 76ers to a 3-0 lead against a team they are simply much better than.
Obviously, the Warriors will be without Draymond Green on Thursday, which could lead to some elevated numbers from Domantas Sabonis. But realistically, this total is way too high. Sabonis' high in this series so far is 37, and he has only totaled six assists in two games.
Sabonis will be a popular play because of how much he has been discussed following his altercation with Green. But Thursday could be a very long night for the Kings, and it is unlikely that Sabonis' big breakout game in this series also comes in the Kings' first road game.
