How to Watch 76ers-Cavaliers Game On Wednesday
Both the Philadelphia 76ers and Cleveland Cavaliers are capable offensive teams, but they both pride themselves on the defensive-end of the floor and these two heavyweights in the Eastern Conference will battle one another for at least 48 minutes on Wednesday night!
For the first time this season, the 76ers will take on the Cavaliers, but for Philadelphia, they will not be at full-strength for this matchup.
Both Tyrese Maxey and James Harden remain out due to foot injuries and in their place, Shake Milton and De’Anthony Melton will continue to share the load in the backcourt.
Fortunately for the Sixers, Joel Embiid made his return from a foot injury on Monday after a four-game hiatus and he looked like he never missed a single game, recording 30 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
Embiid is once again a favorite for the MVP award and Cleveland may have a tough time defending him with Jarrett Allen out of the lineup due to a back injury.
However, second-year big man Evan Mobley has proven to be a defensive force in the paint and is getting better and better as a shot-blocker against some of the league’s best.
Still being a dynamic defensive team with Allen out of the lineup, as well as having one of the most talented backcourt duos in the league with Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell, the Cavaliers will not be afraid of Embiid and the 76ers.
Will Philadelphia pull even with Cleveland record-wise or will the Cavaliers remain inside the Top-3 of the Eastern Conference standings?
Here is how to watch Wednesday night’s game with gametimes and TV, lineups, bios and other must-know details.
