Stephen Curry to score 30+ points (+135)
Steph Curry has been on quite the roll lately and he’s coming off a 46-point performance in the loss to the Lakers over the weekend. It was his 2nd straight 30+ point game, and over his last 9 games he’s averaging 26.3 points per game while shooting 38% from three. He’s had at least 5 threes in 4 of his last 5 games and that stat alone sounds like trouble for the 76ers defense here. They’ve allowed opponents to shoot 39.8% from downtown in their last 3 outings, which is the 2nd-worst mark in the league. Steph is no stranger to big games against the 76ers and is averaging 29.5 points per game in the last 10 meetings. He’s even had 2 games of 10 made threes!

Andrew Wiggins over 1.5 made threes (+154)
Andrew Wiggins is finally showing signs of life after a rough start to the season. He’s now recorded back-to-back games with 2 threes made for the first time in January. The 22 points scored against the Lakers over the weekend matched his 4th-highest total of the season and with that type of momentum I think it’s worth backing him to knock down a pair of threes here. With the possibility of Tobias Harris missing yet another game, Wiggins might not need to do that much defensively here, which should open things up on the other end.
Just like Steph, Wiggins has also enjoyed some big-time performances against Philadelphia recently. He’s had at least 2 threes in 3 of the last 4 meetings with the 76ers and is currently on a streak of 3 consecutive games of 50% or better shooting from the field. I don’t know about you, but I’ve not yet given up on Wiggins, so let’s back him to perform well here.
