The Cleveland Cavaliers (44-29) host the Philadelphia 76ers (39-34) for a Friday evening game. The Cavs have lost four out of the last five games. Meanwhile, the Sixers have as well. Philadelphia leads the regular-season series by two games to one. But Cleveland will look to defend home court and avoid slipping any further in the Eastern Conference standings.
But do you see the 76ers finding a way on the road tonight to win?

Key Stats
Philadelphia 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers are led in scoring by Tyrese Maxey. Maxey is averaging 25.8 points per game. Additionally, Tobias Harris has the most rebounds at 6.3 per game. This is a team that is hoping that Joel Embiid is able to return soon. Additionally, the collective hope remains that he will not only be able to return to game shape soon but will continue to have a large impact that everyone knows that he can. But against the Cleveland Cavaliers team, they may be outmanned.
Cleveland Cavaliers
On the other hand, the Cleveland Cavaliers think they’ll have their star back. Officially, Donovan Mitchell is a game-time decision. But it looks optimistic. Regardless if it’s today or the next game, Mitchell averages 27.4 points per game, and this Cavs team has missed each one. Additionally, Jarrett Allen continues to be a force, as he averages 10.7 rebounds per game. This could be a game that the Cavs show why some have been making the Eastern Conference Finals this year. But they need to be closer to full strength now in order to show their true potential.

Game Prediction
This is a game that the Philadelphia 76ers will wish they had back. Yes, Embiid is coming but this could have been a good test between two rosters who have dealt with injuries at a high level this year. However, both are becoming healthy at around the same time. Unfortunately, for the 76ers the Cavs are getting things rolling just a touch sooner. Therefore, I am picking the Cleveland Cavaliers to cover the spread.
Final Pick
Cleveland Cavaliers -8
