The last time these two teams played (just a few weeks ago), the away team was an underdog and still won straight up. Cleveland has not lost ATS in their last 3 games played, while Philly has gone 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games. With the trade deadline tomorrow, and the Sixers admitting that they have considered trading AI, don't be surprised if you see a low scoring game from an angered Iverson. Anyone from the Philly area knows how much Iverson does for that team week in and week out (even if he doesn't practice all the time). This small guard takes the 6ers on his shoulders every night and is surely not happy when the team talks about moving him around. Add that to the fact that Cleveland had 4 of 5 starters score double digits in their last game played compared to only 2 from Philly and you'll see why the away team in this match up has a strong chance to win again this year. I like Eric Snow coming back to Philly and and doing well tonight as Cleveland not only covers this small number but takes the win outright. Three stars on the Cavs.
