Cleveland Cavaliers
Timing is everything in sports and while it’s important to get out to a strong season start it’s better to build momentum during the stretch run to carry into the postseason.
This isn’t a new situation, every season a team(s) will be on fire for the first half then fade while other teams will struggle early but find their footing later in the year.
Cleveland may be that team this season as they’ve lost five of their last six matches and will face the exuberant Philly squad who haven’t lost with James Harden on the court.
Granted the Cavs have dealt with Darius Garland being in and out of the lineup with a back issue but had their regular starting lineup in the match versus the Hornets and still got blown out by 21 points.
Following games on Thursday the Celtics win moved them ahead of Cleveland who are now sixth and just two games up on the Raptors for seventh. That trio is separated by 2.5 games and it sure feels like Cleveland could end up being the team that drops to seventh.
Caris LeVert (foot) and Rajon Rondo (toe) are out indefinitely while Collin Sexton (knee) is lost for the season.
Philadelphia 76ers
The Embiid – Harden love fest is on with the duo thrilled about playing with each other and feasting through three games albeit playing lower-tier opponents (Knicks twice, Timberwolves).
Embiid averaged 27.1 points, 10.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, a steal,, and 2.0 blocks in that trio of matches while Harden has averaged close to a triple-double with 27.3 points, nine rebounds, 12.3 assists, 1.7 steals and is shooting 50.0 percent from the perimeter on 6.7 attempts.
A better gauge of how good the Sixers and the duo can be will be revealed in the next four matches as they face the Cavs, Heat, Bulls, and Nets.

Free Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Philadelphia 76ers NBA Prediction:
With the Cavaliers stumbling of late this could be another easy victory for Philly but if the Cleveland squad that was on display prior to their recent slump arrives they could pose issues for the 76ers.
In particular that Cavs team would limit their ability to score in the paint, in transition, and get in the passing lanes to throw off Harden’s passing ability.
Philly is on such a high if they jump out to an early lead the crowd will keep them amped and the combination of that occurring plus the effect of ebbing confidence on the Cavs could result in another loss.
