Prediction

With the All-Star break looming and both of these teams sitting 3rd and 4th at the top of the Eastern conference, this should be a tight one in Philly tonight.

The Cavaliers have won 7 in a row and 8 of their last 10 games as they have climbed their way into 4th in the East, with a 22-10 conference record and 38-22 overall record.

On the other side, the Sixers are 7-3 in their last 10 games and have won 3 in a row themselves to settle them at 3rd in the East.

In their last matchup earlier this season in October, the Cavaliers handled the Sixers at home, 113-85.

There isn’t a lot to take away from this matchup though, as the Cavs were without Big Man Jarrett Allen and the Sixers were missing James Harden and Tyrese Maxey.

Tonight, both teams are a full-go and it should come down to the wire.

Look for this to be a close one in Philly tonight and I like the Sixers to cover the +1.5 and possibly win outright, to go into All-Star break with a 2 game lead over the Cavs.

Joel Embiid will look to dunk on the Cavaliers again tonight in Well Fargo Arena

Best Bet

I talked about this in my NBA PLAYER PROPS FOR TONIGHT piece so go give that a read to get the other props I love for tonights NBA slate.

Harden has been fantastic scoring and facilitating over the past 2 weeks. He has 20+ points in 4 straight games and in 5 of his last 7.

He also has 10+ assists in 5 of his last 7 as well but I am going to focus on the scoring in the matchup tonight with the Cavs.

He has 21+ points in 4 straight games and 5 of the last 6 vs the Cavaliers.

In what should be a close game between 2 of the better teams in the East, I love Harden to continue to score and help the Sixers possibly snag a big win before the All-Star break.
