Cavaliers vs 76ers Prediction
This is a lot of points for a Cavs team that played yesterday and is a little banged up. However, the 76ers are down Maxey and Embiid, and they’ve been free-falling for a while now. The 76ers have lost 6 of their last 10 games and they’re 3-7 ATS during that span as well. Big line, but there have been games lately where the 76ers look off. Without two and possibly their top three players, this game could get ugly. I’m forced to lay the number with the Cavs at home.
