NBA Free Premium Play 03/27: Cleveland Cavaliers @ Philadelphia 76ers


  
Cleveland  at Philadelphia 
 
 
NBA - 761 Cleveland Cavaliers @ 762 Philadelphia 76ers


Projected line: Philadelphia by 13 points

Philadelphia is coming from a bad loss in San Antonio, where they committed a lot of turnovers and where their outside shooting was terrible with 8-24 FG from 16-23 feet and 1-9 3pts! For today, they will face the lowly team of the Cavs, so Philadelphia has a good shot to have a good bounce back today. Cleveland is also struggling and the motives for that are easy to understand: only Irving is playing well on the backcourt, Sessions is now in LA and the rest of the backcourt are basically scrubs, as even Walton is playing 26 minutes nowadays! With Thompson in the frontcourt, they seem shorthanded and with no ability to be a good team.

The Cavs will be an easy matchup for the Sixers, as they will be very well defended by Philadelphia's top perimeter defense, even with Iguodala being doubtful for this game, while Cleveland won't have anybody in the frontcourt who can dominate the Sixers in the paint. Philadelphia is an excellent defensive team in everything Cleveland can do on offense (transition, P&R ball handler and off screens), therefore I expect the Sixers to shut down the Cavs offense today and have an easy blowout win today. Therefore, I'll be taking the Sixers in here.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 762 Philadelphia 76ers (-9) @ -110 / 1.91 on Bookmaker
