Cavaliers vs 76ers Prediction
The 76ers and the points are worth a look, but they’re on the end of a back-to-back, and this line tells me they’ll be without a lot of key players. It’s also not going to be easy to rebound from last night’s loss. It was rough. The Cavs are at home, rested, and they’re going to be as healthy as they’ve been in a while. There’s a chance Garland plays. Massive line, but oddsmakers are throwing this out there for a reason. I’ll lay the chalk.
