Philadelphia 76ers vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction and Betting Tips (25.01.2025)

Match announcement

Philadelphia 76ers

USA

Current form

The Sixers continue to fall in the Eastern Conference standings. The team has suffered seven defeats in a row and can’t find its game. In the last match, Philadelphia was crushed by Denver (109:144). Tyrese Maxey tried to drag the team along, making a double-double, but his efforts were not enough against the powerful and coordinated game of the opponent.

Philadelphia problems are not only due to the absence of Joel Embiid, but also to a general decline in offense and defense. Nick Nurse charges look lost, and their actions on the court often seem chaotic. Before the match with Cleveland, the players are under pressure, but the support of the home crowd can play an important role. However, against a strong and motivated opponent, the hosts' chances look minimal.

Disqualifications and injuries

Joel Embiid and Jared McCain will not play in the next game due to injuries.

Interesting facts for betting

The Sixers have gone seven games without a win.

Probable lineup: Oubre - George, Drummond - Gordon, Maxey.

 

Cleveland Cavaliers

USA

Current form

The Cavs are confidently holding on to first place in the Eastern Conference. The team demonstrates a stable and balanced game, which allows it to remain among the favorites of the season. However, in the last match against Houston, Cleveland suffered an unexpected defeat (108:109). Darius Garland had a chance to bring his team victory in the final seconds, but made only one of three free throws.

Despite this setback, Cleveland continues to be one of the strongest teams in the league. The leadership of Donovan Mitchell and the support of players like Evan Mobley and Garland make the Cavs a dangerous opponent for any club. In the upcoming match, the visitors will be maximally focused to regain their winning rhythm and strengthen their lead.

Disqualifications and injuries

Caris LeVert will not be able to help his team in the next meeting due to health issues.

Interesting facts for betting

The Cavs have won 3 of their last 5 head-to-head games.

Probable lineup: Wade - Strus, Allen - Mitchell, Garland.

Tip and bets

1.7Philadelphia handicap (+11.5) points

Philadelphia is in a deep crisis. Tyrese Maxey is trying to pull the team up, but without the help of Joel Embiid and the proper support of his teammates, it is extremely difficult to do so. Seven losses in a row put pressure on the players, and the next match against Cleveland is unlikely to be easy.

In turn, Cleveland has every chance to return to the winning wave. After the disappointing defeat from Houston, the motivation of the guests will be off the charts. Kenny Atkinson team knows how to adapt to the situation and exploit the weaknesses of the opponent. Most likely, the guests will control the game from the first minutes and achieve victory, but there will be problems.

Our prediction is a Philadelphia victory with a handicap of (+11.5) points for 1.70

1.75Total under 230.5 points

Bet on total

Joel Embiid absence seriously hurts Philadelphia offensive potential. Cleveland also did not show impressive performance in the last match. Given this, there is reason to believe that the game will be played with an emphasis on defense. In such a situation, a bet on the total under looks like a reasonable decision.

Betting Tip - total under 230.5 points for 1.75

Bet on statistics

Despite their status as favorites, Cleveland is unlikely to pull off a rout. Philadelphia will be trying to end their losing streak with all their might, and their focus on defense could make it difficult for the visitors to score. We expect the Cavs' individual total to remain below their usual values.

Prediction - Cleveland individual total under 119.5 points for 1.86
