The Philadelphia 76ers will look to snap their lengthy losing streak when they host the rejuvenated Golden State Warriors on Saturday night. It will be a toughest assignment for the 76ers, who are 20-38 in the East.

The Sixers are dealing with regular injuries and their performance has been below average. Nick Nurse’s side are coming off a 110-105 loss to the Knicks on the road. The 76ers have lost last five games at Wells Fargo Center and posted a 20-38 record at home this season.

On the flip side, the Warriors are high on confidence after five straight wins. The Dubs are 7-1 since acquiring Jimmy Butler from Miami last month. Golden State enter the road fixture back off a comeback win over Orlando Magic, courtesy of Steph Curry’s 56-point performance.
