Cleveland has lost five of six and has failed to cover in all six. The Sixers are in the middle of their Harden honeymoon. Those two narratives are driving a line that is higher than it should be. I don't think the Cavs win outright, but I like them to keep it inside seven.

I’m betting against the sluggish Cavaliers because they seem to have hit a wall. They’ve gone 1-5 in their last six and didn’t cover the spread in any of the six. The start of the six-game non-cover streak was a 103-93 loss at Philly three weeks ago. The Sixers look like the Supersixers with wins and covers in their last four. James Harden is motivated, and the team is feeling it. The future looks bright in Philly. Sixers to cover.
