The set-up: Philadelphia has been playing well, as it enters off a 17-point road win over Sacramento. Golden State has gone through plenty of injury adversity this year and while Stephen Curry is back in the line-up again, I don't think that's going to help in pushing this total over tonight. Philadelphia is without Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid, and the last thing it'll want to do here is to turn this into a "track meet" with the upstart Warriors. Philly controlled the game from start to finish vs. the Kings and the result was a resounding victory.

The pick: Philly has also seen the total go under the number in eight of 13 as a road favorite this year, while GS has seen the total dip below in six of nine this season as a home dog of six points or less. I think this one definitely sets up as more of a defensive affair, rather than a high-scoring shootout.

10* TOTAL OF THE MONTH on the UNDER 76ers/Warriors.
