Really just where this game is being played as the Cavs are 13-16 away and Philly 22-8 at home. Cleveland has won seven straight but against a pretty easy schedule. This season when the Cavs have faced one of the other seven East teams with at least a .500 record, they are 2-5 SU and ATS on the road. The Sixers are on a three-game run and generally play well at home against the NBA's better teams, covering seven of their past 10 there vs. clubs with a winning percentage of .600 or better. Joel Embiid (technically questionable) is coming off a 23-point performance. In the past five games following not scoring at least 30, Embiid averages 40.2 PPG. As I've said earlier, I think these last game before the break type matchups heavily favor home teams. The Cavs had to travel out just for this game. They might mail it in.

Joel Embiid (foot) is questionable again, which is probably the reason why the Cavaliers aren’t underdogs despite having just a 13-16 record away from Cleveland. They have won seven straight games, but they played some bad teams in the Pacers, Pistons, Wizards, Bulls and Spurs during their streak. Despite usually being on the injury report, Embiid has averaged 35 minutes while playing in 10 straight games. I think he plays again, so look for the 76ers to improve on their 22-8 record at home.
