Philadelphia went UNDER its first two games of the season, and it has stayed UNDER six of its last seven going back to the end of last season. The 76ers went UNDER by 11 points while beating Washington, 113-107, and then they went UNDER by 17 points in their 109-89 victory over New York while holding the Knicks to 38.5-percent shooting. New head coach Doc Rivers apparently is stressing defense as he tries to get the Sixers over the hump and finally into championship contention. The 76ers are playing more up-tempo, but they are still getting back on defense. Cleveland, of course, went OVER at Detroit because the game went into double overtime. It would have gone UNDER in regulation. Four of the last five meetings between these teams have stayed UNDER, and the Cavaliers are 13-3 UNDER after scoring at least 125 points their previous game. Play the UNDER.
