Premium Pick

Philadelphia looks to avenge a 121-112 loss to Cleveland in November, and the 76ers are in much better form than they were a month ago winning six of their last nine games, although they have lost their last two against Brooklyn and Indiana. The Cavaliers are 7-22 on the season after losing to Milwaukee on Friday, even though the Bucks were missing two starters. The Cavs couldn't control Giannis Antetokounmpo, who exploded for 44 points and added 14 rebounds for the Bucks. Cleveland's defense has been bad all season allowing opponents a .483 field goal percentage compared to .444 for Philly. The 76ers have covered five of their last seven after a loss and four of five following a loss of at least 10 points. Cleveland is 7-23-1 ATS its last 31 games after a home loss of at least 10 points, and that includes last season with LeBron James. Play the 76ers.
