76ers vs Cavaliers prediction
This line makes no sense to me. Yes, the 76ers are still down Melton, Covington and Embiid, but they’re still competing and have covered 6 of their last 10 games. The Cavs are down Mitchell and Wade, and they’ve lost 7 of their last 10 games while covering just 4 of those games. The 76ers beat the Cavaliers twice in February, both times as an underdog. The Cavs probably should win at home, especially with Garland back, but the big number is confusing. Give me the 76ers as an underdog on the road.
