💰 Best Cavaliers vs. 76ers prop bet: Joel Embiid Over 26.5 points (-105) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Check out all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.
Embiid will likely bounce back after scoring just 20 Wednesday. The last time he faced Cleveland before Wednesday’s loss - a home game Nov. 21, 2023 - he scored 32 points and attempted 16 free throws.
Embiid had an efficient shooting night Wednesday - 7 of 14 from the floor and 2 of 5 from 3-point range - but he committed six turnovers. After such a sloppy night, expect Embiid to return to what has worked for him against the Cavaliers: playing physically and getting to the free-throw line. When Embiid does that, he should have no trouble scoring 27-plus.
🔥 More Cavaliers vs. 76ers prop picks
Donovan Mitchell Over 3.5 three-pointers made (+101) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Mitchell cashed this prop against the 76ers on Wednesday, going 5 of 12 from deep. More importantly, he has made four or more 3-pointers in three straight games.
He has connected on 13 of 31 three-pointers (41.9%) in that span while attempting nine or more in each outing. He’s hot from three, he’s attempting a high volume, and he already cashed this prop against the 76ers on Wednesday - what more do we need to place this bet?
Our Shane Thurston backs another Cavaliers guard to score 14 or more points with his NBA player props tonight.
Tyrese Maxey Over 29.5 points (+150) ⭐⭐⭐
Maxey scored just 14 points Wednesday - his lowest since Dec. 23. However, he had 33 or more points in back-to-back games entering Wednesday, so he will likely bounce back.
The 76ers guard went just 5 of 16 from the field and 2 of 8 from three in Wednesday's loss - that's unlikely to happen again. He is shooting 51.8% from the field through eight games in January, including Wednesday’s performance, and has made 44.3% of his 3-pointers this month. He will likely take 22 or more shots - after scoring just 14 Wednesday - and cash this bet.
