Smart Game Analysis
Philadelphia 76ers has a 60% chance of winning the game
With Darius Garland sidelined and the 76ers seeking immediate revenge for Wednesday's blowout, Philadelphia is well-positioned to split the mini-series at home.
Key Analysis
- • Darius Garland is out with a toe injury, stripping the Cavaliers of a primary ball-handler who scored 20 points on Wednesday.
- • Joel Embiid and Paul George are probable, positioning Philadelphia to exploit a Cleveland defense missing key perimeter stoppers.
- • The 76ers are in a classic revenge spot after being embarrassed by 26 points on their home floor just two days ago.
- • Cleveland has alternated wins and losses for seven straight games, a pattern that points to a letdown performance tonight.
- • The Cavaliers are significantly shorthanded on the wing with Max Strus and Sam Merrill confirmed out.
- • Philadelphia must stifle Donovan Mitchell, who dominated the last matchup with 35 points and 5 three-pointers.
