76ers vs Cavaliers Prediction

As Ive said in the past, you can’t show the Philadelphia 76ers any attention until they get healthy. The 76ers are losing games left and right, and they’re just 14-28 ATS on the season. With a 33.3 cover percentage, the 76ers are the worst cover team in the NBA. The Cavs have a cover percentage of 67.4 percent, which is second-best behind only the Thunder. The Cavs beat the 76ers in late December by 27 points and that was a game Philly had Lowry, Drummond, and Martin. That won’t be the case tonight. There’s only one option in this contest. Give me the Cavs in a road beat down.
