Philadelphia 76ers

The Seventh Sixers have achieved three consecutive victories ahead of the match with Cleveland. First, Doc Rivers' team beat both New York teams - Brooklyn (101:98) and the Knicks (119:108). And then confidently coped with the outsider of the Western Conference Houston (123:104). Following the results, it is worth noting the defense of Philadelphia. The team is good both in working on the perimeter and in the three–second line and it has already reached third place in the defense efficiency rating - 110.4 missed points on average per game.

Cleveland Cavaliers

If Philadelphia has won three games in a row, then Cleveland's winning streak has lasted for seven games. However, the opponents in this segment were more straightforward than those of Philadelphia. Separately, mentioning only the victories over Memphis (128:113) and New Orleans (118:107) is necessary.

Speaking of Cleveland, we should also talk about defense. Moreover, the Cavaliers are the best defense this season, with a pass rate of only 105.9 points per game.

Expert Betting Tips

Philadelphia has something to offer Cleveland – it's no coincidence that Doc Rivers' team beat the Cavaliers four times last season. The Sixers may repeat this success, especially given the additional motivation for losing the first game of the 2022/23 season series. In addition, of course, we are betting on a grassroots match – after all, the first and third defenses of this championship will play among themselves.
