The Sixers receive the Cavs with both teams still fighting for something until the end of the regular season, especially the Cavs fighting to secure their home court advantage for the first round of the playoffs against Washington. Also the Sixers are fighting with Toronto for the 6th seed to avoid facing Detroit in the first round of the playoffs. Both teams aren't in a good mood, as the Cavs are yet to show any type of consistency and the Sixers after a great run and amazing results in the last couple of months are now a little ice cold. The team is 1-3 in their last four games and 3-5 in their last eight. So the scenario for this game for both teams isn't nice, but at the same time they really need to win today.

The Cavs now with Lebron physically not at 100% are playing a terrible offensive basketball. The last four games of the team went under, as the team can't create good opportunities to score. Also the %'s in these four games were terrible. 38.6% FG against Orlando, 45% FG against New Jersey, 42.7% against the Bulls and yesterday 37.8% FG against the lowly Miami. However the team can still survive to these games, as they have a good defense and that's why all these matches went under.

The Sixers as they haven't won games lately are also lacking confidence. They scored 76 points against Indiana and 93 points against the Wizards, with just 9 points in the fourth quarter of the game. This tells us that the team's confidence isn't the same anymore. Actually looking at the last game of the Sixers at Washington, the game ended with 109-93 with a line of 194,5 (going over that way), however looking of what happened in that game, just the 3pts shots of the Wizards were capable of taking down the good defense of the Sixers. The Wizards shot 12-22 3pts in that game, that gives a very good percentage of 54.5%. So we just need to know if the Cavs are capable to do the same, if they can't, we will have a very tough game based in the low post. And looking at the last games of the Cavs we see that they are ice cold from behind the 3 pts line: 26-75 in their last 5 games. That's 34.6% 3pts! Plus, if we look to their last 10 games we see that they are 26th in the league with 31.1% 3pts and I wasn't surprised when I saw that the Sixers are right close to them in the 29th position, with just 29.8% 3pts.

So with both teams being ice cold in the exterior shooting, I predict the offense will come from the interior zones, where both teams have pretty strong defenses. So, it will be hard for any of the teams to score above mid 90's tonight. I actually think the defeated team in here will barely score 80 pts. So, take the under in here.
