Cleveland Cavaliers vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction

The Cavaliers are still missing Max Strus and Dean Wade, while the 76ers don’t have a single player listed on the injury report. The Cavaliers haven’t been at their best lately, but they were on a nice run before they got stopped by the lowly Jazz in their last outing, and they are as healthy as they’ve been all season.

You could say the same about the 76ers, who are starting to heat up, and they’re only going to get better if Embiid and George can stay on the court. This is a tough one to pick, but the 76ers have been one of the form teams in the league lately, and I think they can get the job done at home in this spot.
