Cavaliers 76ers prediction NBA odds picks best bets Tuesday

Cleveland Cavaliers face consistency issues due to injuries, as Donovan Mitchell and others are ruled out for game against Philadelphia 76ers.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are facing a tough start to their season, with injuries playing a major role in their inconsistent performance. In particular, the backcourt has been hit hard, with Darius Garland missing five games and Donovan Mitchell dealing with a hamstring issue that has kept him on the sidelines for the last two games.

As the Cavs prepare to face the Philadelphia 76ers, they will once again be without Mitchell, who has been ruled out for the third straight game. Philadelphia has had a strong start to the season, winning eight straight games before suffering back-to-back losses to the Pacers and Celtics. However, they bounced back with two road victories over the weekend, bringing their record to 10-3 and placing them in second place in the East.

The Cavs have a 4-3 road record this season, with the "over" hitting five times in their seven away games. However, their injury-riddled lineup has made them a challenging team to handicap, with key players missing from almost every game. In addition to Mitchell, forward Isaac Okoro has been ruled out, and Caris LeVert is questionable with knee soreness. Despite these challenges, Cleveland has shown an ability to consistently hit overs on the road.

The total for the upcoming game against the 76ers opened at 222.5 but has since dropped to 219. With injuries impacting both teams, it will be interesting to see how the game plays out and whether the over or under will prevail. The Cavs will need to find some consistency in their lineup to overcome their injury woes and put up a strong performance against the 76ers.
