Cleveland Cavaliers Betting
The Cleveland Cavaliers have dropped in the NBA Eastern Conference standings but help is back with Darius Garland being healthy once again. This team looks to get back on their winning rhythm and Garland and the losing skid proves how big the point guard is on stabilizing the teamโs offense. Jarrett Allen is coming off from a rewarding stint becoming an NBA All-Star for the first time and his defense against Joel Embiid will be a key to their victory over the Sixers. Rookie Evan Mobley should also step up to space up the floor and keep the defense honest against them.

Philadelphia 76ers Betting
James Harden had a huge welcome in his first game with the Philadelphia 76ers, tallying a near triple-double to reward the home crowdโs support. He is already showing that the offense of the Sixers is built for him and there seems to be no conflict with his playing style while pairing up with Joel Embiid. Sixers fans are very excited to see how they follow up from their previous win heading to this next game against the Cavaliers. Nonetheless, players like Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris have also shown their chemistry with Harden as this team looks to climb up the NBA Eastern Conference standings.
Players to Watch: J. Embiid C 49 GP 49 GS 33 MIN 29.8 PTS 1.9 OR 9.2 DR 11.1 REB 4.4 AST 1 STL 1.5 BLK 3 TO 2.6 PF 1.5 AST/TO 32.10 PER
