Cavaliers at 76ers picks and predictions
Prediction
Cavaliers 113, 76ers 109
Moneyline
The CAVALIERS (+115) are a strong play due to health. It enters Wednesday’s game with no injury concerns, while Embiid is a question mark for the 76ers (-135).
Cleveland routed Philly in Northeast Ohio earlier this season, and this game has the feel of another Cavs victory.
Against the spread
CAVALIERS +2.5 (-112) isn’t nearly the value as taking Cleveland straight up, but if you feel this will be a one-possession game decided on a buzzer beater, take the points.
Cleveland is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 games, while going 4-1 ATS in the last 5 games on the road. It is also 6-2 ATS in the last 8 games against teams with a winning overall mark.
On the flip side, the 76ers -2.5 (-108) are 0-3-1 ATS in the lst 4 meetings against the Cavaliers, while going 2-7 ATS in the last 9 meetings at WFC in Philly.
Over/Under
OVER 216.5 (-108) is worth a look here.
While it is concerning seeing Embiid on the injury report, play the Over. His offense would be missed, but his defense would also be missed, and the Cavaliers could be unstoppable in the paint if the big is on the shelf.
The Over is 9-2-1 in the 76ers’ last 12 games at home, while going 5-2-1 in the last 8 home games against teams with a losing road record. The Over is 14-4-1 in the last 19 games playing on a day of rest, too.
