Prediction

76ers 113, Cavaliers 93

Moneyline (ML)

The 76ers (-833) are overwhelming favorites, and there is no way to justify risking eight times your money for a small return. The Cavaliers (+550) are giant underdogs because they’re not a good team, and they might be without their best player, Love, who is under the weather.

New to sports betting? Every $1 wagered on a Philadelphia win profits $0.12 if the 76ers prevail. (Ex: Bet $10 to win $1.20, $20 to win $2.40, $83.33 to win $10).

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

Take the 76ERS (-11.5, –115), even though they’ll be a little bit short-handed without Embiid. They’ll still be in good shape against the struggling Cavs.

Over/Under (O/U)

PASS. The Under has cashed in 19 of the past 27 meetings in this series, and 10 of the past 14 battles in Philadelphia. With Embiid out, and Love possibly joining him, the defense actually could be lacking. There is just too much uncertainty to wade into the total pool here.

Prediction

Cavaliers 103, Knicks 99

Moneyline (ML)

The CAVALIERS (+110) are a nice value as short dogs against the Knicks (-134), especially since Cleveland already has a win at New York, 108-87, back on Nov. 10.

New to sports betting? Every $1 wagered on a Cleveland win profits $1.10 if the Cavs prevail. (Ex: Bet $10 to win $11, $20 to win $22, $4.76 to win $10).

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

Take the CAVALIERS (+2.5, –115), as they’re 5-2 against the spread in the past seven games on the road, and 13-5 ATS in the past 18 on the second end of a back-to-back set.

The Knicks (-2.5, -106) are 0-4 ATS in the past four tries against the Cavs, including Nov. 10, and they’re 1-6 ATS in the past seven tries against Cleveland at MSG. The underdog has hit in four of the past five in this series, too.

Over/under (O/U)

The UNDER 208.5 (-110) is the play for each of these erratic offenses. The under has hit in each of Cleveland’s past five games, including each of the past four on the road, while going 19-8 in its last 27 with no rest. The under is 21-7 in the past 28 for the Knicks at MSG dating back to last season, while going 12-3-1 in the past 16 on one day of rest.
