The current betting odds have the Cavaliers listed as a 9.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Cavaliers have looked really good in their games this season with their 35-16 record overall which has them near the top of the East right now with one of the best records in the entire NBA. They have looked great on their home court this season with their 18-8 home record and they have all the momentum on their side right now with 9 wins in a row. Meanwhile, the 76ers have also looked good in their games this season with their 31-21 record overall which has them in a playoff spot in the East right now. They have also been a good road team this season but haven't been great in their road games with their 14-11 road record. The 76ers did manage to win their last game on the road against the Wizards but they have been terrible in their games lately as they have been struggling a lot without Embiid in their lineup. They are only 2-8 in their last 10 games while the Cavs are 9-1 and have been one of the hottest teams in the NBA over the last 2 weeks. The Cavaliers have been surging up the standings in the East lately and they are going to continue to do so now that their team is a lot healthier. They have been rolling teams on their home court lately too so they will take advantage of the banged up 76ers here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Cavaliers to cover the spread in this game.
