Philadelphia 76ers @ Cleveland Cavaliers:
Philadelphia 76ers (+ 9.5) /// 2.00
Last bet lost. It happens sometimes when you're controlling the game, winning by 22 points with 7 minutes left of the 3rd quarter, and then you just lose your concentration. The same thing happened with Philadelphia in their game against Chicago. Of course, Nick Nurse probably reminded his players after the 2nd quarter that they should slow down the pace and win with less effort, considering they have a back-to-back against Cleveland Cavaliers ahead. This is just my guess, but I can't explain what happened any other way. My betting score is MLB 201-184 in favor of successful, NBA 175-189 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 10-18 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL 7-11 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Philadelphia 76ers on the road will not lose to Cleveland Cavaliers by more than 9 points. Joel Embiid will not play, but perhaps it is better that way, as he completely failed in the clutch in the last game against Chicago. The rest of the Philadelphia roster is young enough to suffer from fatigue in a road back-to-back. Cleveland also still has serious injury problems. The participation of Darius Garland, Jarrett Allen, De'Andre Hunter, Sam Merrill is questionable and Max Strus will definitely not play. Philadelphia has not lost by more than 9 points in 13 out of last 15 games against Cleveland. The 76ers have not lost by more than 2 points this season, while the Cavaliers have won by more than 9 points only once this season. Bet? Sure!
