Cavaliers at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 115, Cavaliers 102

Moneyline

The 76ers (-310) will cost you more than 3 times your potential return, and that's just too much risk for not enough reward, especially with the Cavaliers (+250) expected to be without Mitchell due to a hamstring injury. If LeVert can't go, it would be even ugly for the visitors.

PASS.

Against the spread

The 76ERS -7.5 (-108) catch a break with Spida sitting for the Cavaliers +7.5 (-112).

Philadelphia has won 7 of the past 8 games in this, series, with the 76ers going 2-1 ATS in the past 3 meetings in the City of Brotherly Love. In the past 8 meetings, the Sixers hold a slight 4-3-1 ATS edge, too.

While Philly has had some issues on its home floor, losing a back-to-back on the home hardwood against the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers Nov. 14-15, it is a solid play against the shorthanded Cavs.

Over/Under

UNDER 220.5 (-110) is worth playing, but go very lightly.

The Over is 3-1-1 in the past 5 games for Philadelphia, with the 76ers going for at least 121 points in 4 of those outings. Offense isn't a concern for the Sixers, though.

The issue on playing the Over confidently, and why you must lean low, is where will Cleveland get scoring with Mitchell and his team-high 29.2 PPG on the sidelines? To make matters worse, LeVert is 3rd on the team with 18.0 PPG, and he is 50-50 to play. The Cavs might have issues cracking triple digits if LeVert sits, too.
