BEAST of the EAST
(NBA) Cleveland vs. Philadelphia, 02/23/2024 7:30 PM, Score: 97 - 104
Total: 228.50 | -110.00 Under
Result: Win
This is a 4* play on Under.

The Cavs are favored on the road at Philly on Friday, with both teams coming off a loss last night in the first game back from the All Star break. This makes plenty of sense, as Philly is just 6-15 without Joel Embiid this season, and they averaged just 112 points in those games. This is significantly less than the over 121 points per game that they averaged in games that Embiid played. The Cavs are one of the best defensive teams in the NBA, ranking 2nd in opponents scoring average allowing 109 points per game. We should expect a strong effort on defense from both these teams coming off a loss. This number appears to be a bit inflated.
