The Sweet Sixteen takes center stage in the basketball world, but there are also some very intriguing games in the NBA on the west coast on Friday. Let’s take a look.
Philadelphia 76ers @ Golden State Warriors–10 PM ET
The 76ers are third in the Eastern Conference at 49 wins and 23 losses. The Warriors are sixth in the Western Conference at 38 wins and 36 losses.
My Take:
Nobody is hotter at the moment than the Philadelphia 76ers. Their only loss in their last 10 games came on Monday, when they were beaten 109-105 by the Chicago Bulls in overtime. However, the 76ers got revenge on Wednesday as De’Anthony Melton scored 25 points in a convincing 116-91 Philadelphia win over Chicago. Normally a trip to California is intimidating. I like the 76ers here at +5.5, and the under at 235. The 76ers have been under 235 points in five of their last six games.

Phoenix Suns @ Sacramento Kings–10 PM ET
The Kings are third in the West at 43 wins and 29 losses. The Suns are fourth in the West at 38 wins and 34 losses.
My Take:
The Kings have the most high power offense in the NBA at the moment at 120.9 points per game. The fact they average 118.5 points against is why you take the over at 239. The Kings are playing slightly better basketball at the moment (6-4 in last 10) versus the 5-5 Suns. That is why I think the Kings need to be chosen here at -3.5.

Oklahoma City Thunder @ Los Angeles Lakers –10:30 PM ET
The Thunder and Lakers have identical records of 36 wins and 37 losses and are tied for eighth in the Western Conference.
My Take:
The Lakers are coming off an impressive 122-111 win over the Suns on Wednesday, and are entering the game full of momentum. Take the Lakers at -5.5 here due to the fact the Thunder are on the second game of a back-to-back and were ineffective in a 127-105 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday. I also like the over at 232.5 because the Thunder may not have the attention to detail defensively.
