Much to the dismay of the Sixer faithful, Lebron James is expected to return to the lineup after sitting out the last two games with a twisted ankle.<\/p>\n<p>With a record of 50-15, the Cavaliers currently have a 4 \u00bd game lead over Orlando for the top spot in the Eastern Conference. They are 7-3 in their last 10 games and have won seven out of their last eight with the only blemish being an 85-92 loss to the Bucks with James out of the lineup. Even more impressive is the fact that they are tied with Boston for the best road record in the league at 22-11. They come into this game having won six straight games in Philly and seven out of the last eight overall between the two. <\/p>\n<p>The only speed bump for tonight\u2019s game could be the absence of Antwan Jamison, who may have to sit this one out after being treated for a cyst behind his left knee. Other than that the Cavs should be ready to go with a well rested James on the floor.<\/p>\n<p>Philadelphia\u2019s season has gone from bad to worse. After getting blown out 87-102 at home on Wednesday by the Bobcats, they have fallen to 23-41 on the year. They have lost seven out of their last eight by an average of an average of 14 points. They have only scored over 100 points in one of those defeats but have given up an average of 107 points over this same span. <\/p>\n<p>Their top scorer, Andre Iguodala who is averaging 16.8 points a game, has averaged less than 12 points a game during their recent slide.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmaker.ag\/latest-promo\/?cmpid=17435_3889\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 0px initial initial;\" src=\"http:\/\/banners.bmaker.ag\/images\/book_basketball_260_180_0.gif?cmpid=13385_1355\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"260\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a>In the two previous meetings with the Cavaliers this season they managed to keep things relatively close to the end, dropping a 91-97 decision in Cleveland back on November 21st and a 101-108 loss at home on December 16th. That was then and this is now as this team\u2019s better days of this season are way behind them.<\/p>\n<p>At 10-20, Philadelphia has one of the worst home records in the league and is facing the best road team in the league. Couple this with Lebron James returning to the lineup after a week\u2019s rest and most likely looking to put on a show, this one should get ugly early. <\/p>\n<p>I may be missing something, but Cleveland only giving 7 \u00bd to this team is a very generous gift.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Betting Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The total has gone OVER in 8 of Cleveland&#8217;s last 9 games when playing on the road against Philadelphia<br \/>\nCleveland is 7-1 SU in its last 8 games<br \/>\nCleveland is 7-1 SU in its last 8 games when playing Philadelphia<br \/>\nThe total has gone OVER in 8 of Philadelphia&#8217;s last 9 games when playing at home against Cleveland<br \/>\nThe total has gone OVER in 13 of Philadelphia&#8217;s last 18 games when playing Cleveland<br \/>\nCleveland is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games when playing on the road against Philadelphia<br \/>\nThe total has gone OVER in 5 of Philadelphia&#8217;s last 7 games at home<br \/>\nThe total has gone OVER in 4 of Philadelphia&#8217;s last 6 games <\/p>\n<p><strong> Cleveland    -7.5 <\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmaker.ag\/latest-promo\/?cmpid=17435_3889\">CLICK HERE NOW TO BET AT BOOKMAKER.COM \u2013 THE #1 SITE ONLINE FOR NBA BASKETBALL BETTING ODDS AND GAMBLING PROMOTIONS!!!!!<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Free NBA Preview and gambling pick including updated point spread and LIVE betting odds for the Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Philadelphia 76ers Friday Pro hoops matchup&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":64,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[10330,166,25722,6387,25717,25718,25719,25720,6433,25721,470,502,21148,2381,3951,1037,24011],"class_list":["post-20045","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nba","tag-10330","tag-betting-odds","tag-cavaliers-76ers-point-spread","tag-cavaliers-vs-76ers","tag-cavaliers-vs-76ers-free-pick","tag-cleveland-philadelphia-odds","tag-cleveland-philadelphia-prediction","tag-cleveland-philadelphia-spread","tag-cleveland-vs-philadelphia","tag-free-cleveland-cavaliers-vs-philadelphia-76ers-nba-pick","tag-free-pick","tag-gambling-lines","tag-nba-basketball-predictions","tag-nba-picks","tag-nba-preview","tag-preview","tag-pro-basketball-picks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20045","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/64"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20045"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20045\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20081,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20045\/revisions\/20081"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20045"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20045"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20045"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
