76ers -6.5 @ Cavaliers
Both teams are coming into this game with no days rest, both sweating it out till the last minute, and both ending up with big fat losses... by one point. Philly is starting up a road trip, and their first opponents seem to be the perfect team to get back on track against. Philly took on the Clippers losing last night and it was a battle just like the Cavaliers game was. Cavaliers must be exhausted after an OT loss against the Bucks. Cavaliers threw in a lot more energy having to put in more time and more effort. They put up 30+ more points last night then the 76ers which means there going to shoot lower tonight. This is the Cavaliers last game before they get three days rest and have to play the Pacers, Heat, and other better opponents. I believe they are going to just want to get this game over with and not put in the effort compared to the 76ers who are going to want to score and redeem themselves after going on this two game losing skid. They can't afford to lose a third game in a row and I feel like the Cavaliers having Irving, Parker, and maybe even Varejao out will change the whole game up. Irving has been gone for a few games now, Parker has been gone since the end of January an Varejao messed up his wrist in the third quarter. Count on him to be trying hard, but not being able to do as much if he does play. They may just give him the rest he needs. Anyways, Philly will be coming out with power and agility as they will want to overcome there losses and get back into the game. Look for them to come out on top and here are some Stats that show a pattern;
Take the sixers and the points!
- 76ers are 12-2 ATS against teams that have a winning percentage of .500 or less
- 76ers are 6-2 ATS on back to back games
- 76ers are 4-1 ATSas road favorites
- 76ers are 7-1 ATS after a loss
- Cleveland is 5-1 ATS as home underdogs (Hopefully that will not screw me)
Take the sixers and the points!
