The 22-17 Philadelphia 76ers welcome the 23-19 Cleveland Cavaliers to the City of Brotherly Love for an NBA Eastern Conference matchup early on Saturday morning. The Sixers are 5th in the East while the Cavs are 7th ahead of our prediction.

These teams met earlier in the week, with the Cavs coming out on top by a final score of 133-107. Cleveland were in charge from an early stage, 33-18 in front after the first quarter. That game was also in Philadelphia, putting the Cavs up 2-0 in the season series.

This is game two of six straight at home for the 76ers, losing three of their last four at Wells Fargo Center. Only the Atlanta Hawks and the Memphis Grizzlies of the teams in the top 10 in each conference have a worse home record. 

The Cavs have alternated wins and losses for their last seven starts but have taken the win in three of their last four on the road. That has put them back to .500 away from Ohio, better than nine of the other 19 teams in playoff contention.

They have picked up the win in five of their last six against the 76ers, including two of the last three in Philadelphia, a narrow three-point loss in the other. The big difference to this game is the loss of Darius Garland.

Our Philadelphia 76ers vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction

This is liable to be much closer than the 26-point blowout win that the Cavaliers picked up in Philadelphia earlier on in the week. They are without Darius Garland here which is going to be a problem for their point scoring but having beaten the 76ers in Cleveland earlier on in the season as well, they know how to get the job done. The 76ers are favourites at home which is a slight surprise as they have been poor here. We’ll take the small start, so our Philadelphia 76ers vs Cleveland Cavaliers prediction is the Cavaliers +1.5.
