The win snapped a 4-game losing streak, and the Sixers are just 2-8 over the last 10 with C Joel Embiid (knee) on the shelf.

The Cavs are scorching hot, winners of 9 straight games. They blew out the Toronto Raptors 119-95 Saturday. The Cavs had 8 players reach double figures in that one as C Jarrett Allen had 18 points and 15 boards. He’ll present a matchup problem for the Sixers with Embiid out.

76ers at Cavaliers and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 118, 76ers 105

Moneyline

There is no play on the moneyline with Cleveland such heavy favorites. The Sixers have an elite scorer in Maxey, and he’s getting help from newly acquired G Buddy Hield. It’s just not enough.

I will key on Maxey for a combo prop, though. In the 1st meeting against Cleveland, he had 30 points, 6 assists and 4 boards. I’ll take TYRESE MAXEY OVER 35.5 POINTS+REBOUNDS+ASSISTS (-125).

Against the spread

The 76ers are just 3-7 ATS over the last 10, and the Cavs are a freight train, covering 4 of 5. Maxey keeps it interesting, but the Cavs pull away late.

Take the CAVALIERS -9.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The Cavs are 3-7 O/U over the last 10, and the Sixers are 5-5. These teams routinely score 100+ as Philly has done it in 10 straight, and Cleveland has 108+ in all 10. This number is just a little too high for me.

Take the UNDER 230.5 (-110).
