NBA Matchup: Cleveland Cavaliers vs Philadelphia 76ers

Date: 4th March 2022

Time: 7:00 pm ET

The 36-win sixth-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers will be taking on the 38-win second-seeded Philadelphia 76ers tonight. Philly has been named contenders year in and year out but will be taking on the newly emerged competitors in the Cavs.

The Cavs have shocked the league with their play this season and will have the opportunity to prove themselves again. The Philadelphia 76ers have played the Cavaliers once before, on 13th February 2022.

Who won the last time these teams played?

The Cavs have been beating a lot of teams this season but haven’t been able to get the better of the Philadelphia 76ers. 103-93 was the final score of the contest with the 76ers taking the win. Joel Embiid had an MVP-level performance against the Cavs.

He had a 40 point triple-double on 50% shooting from the field. Embiid also made 4 out of the 5 threes he attempted i.e., 80% shooting from the 3. The Sixers shot better from the field, out-rebounded, out-assisted, and even outscored the Cavs in the paint. It was an all-out showing for the Sixers who did this before Harden could even take the floor. 

Philadelphia 76ers vs Cleveland Cavaliers prediction

Philadelphia has not faced the problem that many teams face when you put 2 stars together. The Joel Embiid and James Harden partnership has looked scary good. The Cleveland Cavaliers are a young team led by young stars and are one of the best defensive teams in the NBA. But against the offensive magician in Harden and the MVP in Embiid, even strong defenses collapse.

The Philadelphia 76ers are predicted to take care of business against the Cavs and hand them their 26th loss this season.
