Defensively, they're giving up 101.9 points per game and are allowing 33.4 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 45.4 rebounds per game. They gave up 92 points in their last game and will need a similar effort if they want to get the win.
PHILADELPHIA 76ERS
Philadelphia is first in the Atlantic division and they just acquired James Harden from the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond and two draft picks. Harden is out for this game.
The Sixers beat the Thunder at home 100-87 and covered the spread as -12 pts favorites (opening line). Joel Embiid had 25 points, 19 rebounds and five blocked shots. Tyrese Maxey scored 24 points and Harris 17 for the Sixers.

BETTING TRENDS
Cleveland are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games.
Cleveland are 10-2-1 when the spread was +3 to +6.
Philadelphia are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games.
Philadelphia are 10-16 ATS at home.
Prediction
The Cavaliers are playing some of their best basketball right now and will look to stay hot. They're 19-9-1 as underdogs while the 76ers are just 7-16 as home favorites. Jarret Allen should be able to contend Embiid, I like the Cavs to cover.
