76ers vs. Cavaliers: Betting Odds, Game Notes & Prediction
In this story:
Coming off of a successful week while shorthanded, winning three of four games, the Philadelphia 76ers had to wrap up a back-to-back to begin the new week on Monday night.
With the Atlanta Hawks in South Philly for a third matchup against the Sixers this month, Philadelphia had an opportunity to pick up their fourth win in five games. Fortunately for them, they got a key helping hand back in the mix as Joel Embiid was cleared for action.
The Sixers center had some rust at the beginning of the Atlanta matchup. The Hawks looked like the better team for the night as they dominated the Sixers to begin the matchup.
However, the Sixers found a way to bounce back. Going into the fourth quarter, the score tied up, Embiid and the Sixers defeated the Hawks, allowing the Sixers to snag their third-straight win.
Now, the Sixers are on the road looking to kick off a three-game road trip beginning with a matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night. It marks the first matchup between the Sixers and the Cavs during the regular season.
