Result:
WIN

Joel Embiid is back and in his first game, the Sixers held Indiana to just 89 points. The Cavaliers are averaging just 103 per game on the road this season, and I don't expect them to contribute significantly to this high total as they may not reach 100. The Sixers can certainly score, but of late their offense has not been super productive. The last three games they have averaged just 101 points per game. Since the All-Star Break, Philly has gone 15-6 to the UNDER vs. teams that allow 106+ points per game. And, dating back to last season, the Cavaliers are 17-7 to the UNDER when playing on back-to-back days. In his coaching career, Larry Drew's teams are 70-42 to the UNDER vs. elite teams like Philly (teams outscoring opponents by 3+ points per game). Take the UNDER in this one.
