The 76ers were one of the worst road teams in the league last season going 10-24 before entering bubble play. Philadelphia is at least two levels higher than Cleveland. But dare we trust the 76ers to cover this mid-sized number on the road? 
The answer is yes. The 76ers are in a good early place right now under new coach Doc Rivers, with Ben Simmons healthy and added perimeter shooters to take the double-team pressure off Joel Embiid. These elements all were in play when the 76ers rolled past the Knicks, 109-89, at Madison Square Garden on Saturday. Because of the blowout, Embiid got to rest for much of the second half playing less than 31 minutes. 
The Cavaliers also played on Saturday. They went double overtime to beat the Pistons, 128-119, in Detroit. Cleveland opened its season with a win against the Hornets. So the Cavaliers are in a rare fat and happy mood. They had four starters log more than 41 minutes against the Pistons. Kevin Love returned from a calf injury that kept him out of the Hornets game to play more than 37 minutes. So his minutes could be limited.
