The Philadelphia 76ers will try to overcome a manageable -3.5 points handicap against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday.
Current Form:
The Cleveland Cavaliers went 1-2 in the preseason, though they have not unleashed their full power in these games. Once again, the Cavaliers will heavily rely on their backcourt duo, Donovan Mitchell and James Harden, while expecting major contributions from big man Evan Mobley.
The reloaded Philadelphia 76ers defeated the defending NBA champion New York Knicks on the day they raised their championship banner. Tyrese Maxey poured in 28 points, and LeBron James posted 14 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists for his new team.
The Matchup: The Cavaliers have won 7 of their last 8 games against the Sixers, but this Philadelphia squad is different, with a top-heavy starting five.

Our Philadelphia 76ers vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
The Difference Maker: The Sixers just defeated the defending champs on opening night. LeBron James looked good at 41, while Tyrese Maxey and Jaylen Brown are deadly together.
What to Expect: The Cavaliers have the offensive weapons to match the Sixers. However, Philadelphia is more than just a scoring juggernaut. They can also play elite defense, as they did on opening night, holding the Knicks to 100 points. It will take a big game from James Harden and Donovan Mitchell to pull off an upset here, but the Sixers are just too good on paper.
Fearless Forecast: Cavs 103, Sixers 110
Our betting prediction for the Cleveland Cavaliers vs. the Philadelphia 76ers: The Sixers -3.5 points
