The Philadelphia 76ers have matched their longest winning streak in 28 years and can reach the 13-game mark with a victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday. UNDER bettors have been profiting in this series, as the UNDER is 16-5 in the last 21 meetings between the Sixers and Cavs.
Sportsbook opened the 76ers as 3.5-point home favorites with a total of 224.
- The Cavaliers are 7-17 ATS in their last 24 games against the 76ers.
- The 76ers are 9-1 SU and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games at home against teams with winning records.
- The Cavaliers are 1-3 SU in their last four games on the road after winning their most recent road game.
Philadelphia is winning despite not having the services of star center Joel Embiid, who’s sidelined with an orbital fracture. The Sportsbook of tonight’s game will claim the third spot in the Eastern Conference. Philly ended an 11-game losing streak against the Cavs in the last meeting between the teams on March 1.
Cleveland has won five straight and 10 of its past 11 after overcoming a 17-point fourth-quarter deficit in a 119-115 win over the Washington Wizards on Thursday. The wine and gold are 5-0 SU in their previous five visits to the City of Brotherly Love but will likely be without the services of George Hill (ankle) and Jose Calderon (hamstring). Cavs head coach Tyronn Lue returned to the sideline Thursday after a nine-game absence to deal with health issues.
The UNDER is also trending in Cavaliers games in the second half of back-to-backs. In Cleveland’s last seven with no days off, the UNDER is 6-1.
