The Cavaliers are 1-4 in their last 5, so while they may be the better and deeper side and Philly is without its top player, it isn’t worth a moneyline play at an expensive -330.
The 76ers haven’t consistently won without Embiid on the court, but they have covered at a high rate as of late. They have been an underdog in 5 straight games and are 3-2 ATS in those. Philly is 5-2 ATS in its last 7 as well.
The Cavaliers are the opposite. They are 2-5 straight up and ATS in their last 7 games, failing to cover in every loss. The Cavs have lost 3 of their last 4 games at home.
Considering those trends, back 76ERS +8 (-110) to keep things at close.
Neither offense has been consistent over the last few weeks, and that’s why the Under is the better option. The Cavaliers have scored 105 or fewer in 4 of their last 7, and they have scored 91 or fewer in 2 of their last 3.
Cleveland’s top option, Mitchell, is also questionable, although the spread indicates he’s likely to take the court. The 76ers have gone Under 105 in 4 of their last 6 and Under 100 in 2 of their last 3. Philadelphia is 2-5 O/U in its last 7 games.
