There will be a lot of key players missing from this game on both sides, which is having a clear effect on the spread, but I don't think it's impacted the total enough. Long story short, it should be lower than where it is. The Under has gone 17-5 in Philly's last 22 games, and it's 7-4-1 this season when Cleveland is on the second of a back-to-back. Going back to previous seasons, the Under is 18-7 during the second game of a back-to-back the last 25 times the Cavs have played them.
This is a huge line when you consider Jimmy Butler (rest) is out. However, Kevin Love will also sit out for rest while Larry Nance Jr. (chest) and Tristan Thompson (foot) are dealing with injuries. The last time Love was rested, the Cavaliers lost by 36 points at home to the Pistons. Yikes. I’ll take the Sixers to cover.
