76ers vs Cavaliers Prediction

The current betting odds have the Cavaliers listed as a 4 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. This team hasn't been playing great in their games lately after getting out to a really hot start at the beginning of the season. They are still one of the better teams in the East with the trades they made in the off-season and they have been playing like it so far. They have also been crushing teams at home this year with only 1 loss there on the season and they are even 8-1 ATS in those games. The 76ers have been battling injuries all year, they are still dealing with some key injuries but they did get Joel Embiid back recently who has been on and off with his injuries to start the season. The 76ers have been playing a lot better in their games lately but they have also been beating up on some really bad teams in those. This will be a much tougher test for them on the road against one of the better teams in the East and the Cavs are just a much more consistent team right now with their play. The best way to place a bet here is on the Cavaliers to cover the spread in this game.
