Betting on the Cleveland Cavaliers
- Regular Season Record: 37-22
After playing at home against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday, the Cleveland Cavaliers will have to go back on the road to face a big opponent. However, this franchise is on a very positive and upward trend as, prior to their last matchup, they had a six-game winning streak.
In three of those victories, the team’s main virtue was displayed in all its nuances, as they managed to neutralize their opponents by refraining them from scoring more than 100 points. This has been the mainstay for Cleveland, and it’s no wonder because they are the best team in the league in this aspect, allowing an average of 105.9 points per game.
It is crucial to remain solid on defense, even more so if they have limitations on offense. This is a department that has left much to be desired, with an average of 111.7 points.
Betting on the Philadelphia 76ers
- Regular Season Record: 36-19
The Philadelphia 76ers saw action on Monday too when they played against the Houston Rockets, one of the weakest teams in the league this campaign. Now they will have to raise the bar to try to avenge their only loss to Cleveland this season.
Playing at home will surely be a factor that will have a positive influence on them, since they have been able to win 21 of the 29 games played at the Wells Fargo Center. Regarding their defensive performance, the team’s defense has also been the main reason for the franchise’s success, ranking third with the best average so far in the 22-23 season with an average of 110.5 points per game.
JefeBet Prediction
With four wins in their last five home games, Philadelphia is the overwhelming favorite to win on Wednesday, especially against Cleveland, which has a 13-16 away record.
However, with the good results the Cavaliers have had in recent weeks, they can’t be taken for granted.
When facing two franchises that remain highly competitive in the defensive department, and that do not stand out for having a lot of offensive firepower, we expect this to be a match that does not end with an exaggerated amount of points in the final score.
Prediction: Under.
