76ers vs. Cavaliers, Warriors vs. Clippers Headline ESPN NBA ... (Blazer's Edge)

It's Wednesday, and you know what that means. It's time for another ESPN NBA doubleheader! Tonight, the Philadelphia 76ers take on the Cleveland Cavaliers ...

3) This game is being played in Los Angeles, where the Clippers have a mere 18-15 home record. [DraftKings Odds](https://dksb.sng.link/As9kz/0wps?_dl=https%3A%2F%2Fsportsbook.draftkings.com%2Fgateway%3Fs%3D347134020%26wpcid%3D229989%26wpcn%3DInarticle%26wpsrc%3DVox%26wpscn%3DNBA%26wpcrid%3DInarticle&pcid=229989&psn=Vox&pcn=Inarticle&pcrid=Inarticle&pscn=NBA) A lot rides on this matchup for both teams as they compete for positioning in the NBA postseason. They share a Win/Loss record with the Warriors (36-33), and a win tonight ties the season series. 3) Fortunately for the Cavaliers, they are playing at home where they boast a 28-7 record. Add Los Angeles’ elite perimeter defenders into the mix and it’s certainly possible that they will overtake the defending champions, who rely heavily on motion and three-point shooting. [Philadelphia 76ers](https://www.libertyballers.com) take on the [Cleveland Cavaliers](https://www.fearthesword.com) at 4:30 p.m. (PDT) before the [Golden State Warriors](https://www.goldenstateofmind.com) and [Los Angeles Clippers](https://www.clipsnation.com) clash at 7:00 p.m. 1) Each team has an abundance of injuries to role players, so we won’t go diving too far into the weeds. 2) Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (right eye contusion), however, will miss his third straight game. This could be a big night for Embiid. He’ll be the focal point of Cleveland’s offense and Philadelphia’s defense.

76ers vs. Cavaliers picks, props and same-game parlay (cleveland.com)

Philadelphia 76ers vs Cleveland Cavaliers picks, props and same-game parlay for Wednesday's NBA game on March 16th, 2023. Prediction for 76ers vs Cavs.

Cleveland’s perimeter defense has frustrated Philadelphia, as the 76ers only shot 23.1% on 3-pointers in the February meeting. When the 76ers vs Cavaliers game is being played in Cleveland, however, the betting trends look a bit different. Add this player prop to your same-game parlay to maximize your value on a potential low-scoring Cavs victory. The Cavs are 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings in Cleveland. Even though the Cavs played Tuesday night, they are 9-4 ATS this season when playing with a rest disadvantage. It’s hard to ignore what happened when these two teams met for the first time in Cleveland this season. Cleveland only has seven losses at home all season, with the last one coming February 23rd vs Denver. The 76ers are also playing some high-scoring games recently, as the “over” has cashed in four of their past six games. Bickerstaff’s club dominated the 76ers in the first meeting at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse this year, winning 113-85 as 3.5-point favorites. The 76ers are riding a four-game winning streak and pushing for that top seed in the Eastern Conference. U 223 (-110) O 223 (-110)

Takeaways from the Cleveland Cavaliers' 118-109 loss to the ... (Fear the Sword)

On Wednesday night in Cleveland, the Cavaliers lost to the Philadelphia 76ers 118-109. Joel Embiid led the 76ers with 36 points and 18 rebounds.

The 76ers also now own the tiebreaker with a 2-1 advantage in the season series. In a stretch to open the third, with LeVert and Mitchell on the floor together, it was LeVert’s show. And he kept attacking even after he was blocked by Embiid twice in the first half. They were unlikely to anyway with the 76ers having a three-game lead entering Wednesday and games in hand. This loss likely ends the Cavs’ hopes of getting to the third seed in the Eastern Conference. With Embiid, Evan Mobley led a connected, on-point defense against Embiid to double him in the post and have some marking him at all times. The mistakes were costly (see Cedi Osman losing Georges Niang at the end of the third for a three that put the 76ers ahead by one), but those are the margins in a tight game against a good team. When the game slows down and offense gets sticky, he’s one of their ways through the muck. LeVert gave Cleveland high-end two-way play, a mix of his jitterbug scoring and the three-and-d role the Cavs have asked him to fill this year. Mobley was the forefront of that, stepping up to defend Embiid with timing, length and just enough strength despite a size disadvantage. Caris LeVert lead the Cavs with 24 points, while Darius Garland added 21 points. Joel Embiid led the

No disrespect to Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, but neither comes close to Joel Embiid in terms of a matchup nightmare. [122.3](https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://cleaningtheglass.com/stats/team/23/lineups?on=1049&on=1487*tab-four_factors__;Iw!!AQdq3sQhfUj4q8uUguY!gnpeZZeT3DKNY2OS1t6ppogi9V8kO4GfJWwCrJRPtu-A1xqCYz1BZJN8JxK3dm8s9Qnn5asFX-ZnKR2Q6qCmUepqKhyfkh1LFQ$) points per 100 possessions when Embiid and Harden are both on the floor. And Embiid and Harden have both shown a willingness to find them on the rare occasions their initial actions don't work. Whether it's Milwaukee or Boston, that's going to be tough to stop in the playoffs. The Harden-to-Embiid [assist combo](https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.pbpstats.com/assist-combo-summary/nba?Season=2022-23&SeasonType=Regular*2BSeason__;JQ!!AQdq3sQhfUj4q8uUguY!gnpeZZeT3DKNY2OS1t6ppogi9V8kO4GfJWwCrJRPtu-A1xqCYz1BZJN8JxK3dm8s9Qnn5asFX-ZnKR2Q6qCmUepqKhx1SRmmWQ$) isn't just first in the league. 1 seed for much of the season themselves, Milwaukee should fear the third-seeded Sixers far more. Barring a significant shift in the standings, Joel Embiid and the Sixers need to get through the Boston Celtics first. The Sixers won the fourth quarter of that game 48-31. The Milwaukee Bucks must be wary of the Philadelphia 76ers, but only in an Eastern Conference Finals matchup. The Celtics may be in a bit of a lull now, but they've clearly shown the ceiling of a championship contender at other points this season. That could propel the Sixers into a very dangerous conference final for Milwaukee. But the C's will have the same issue with the skilled size (and force) of Embiid in the second round.
