The Cleveland Cavaliers host the Philadelphia 76ers tonight.

Cleveland are 4th in the Eastern Conference, but Washington and Philadelphia are only 3 games behind, reaching for that 4th spot and consequentially the home advantage in the playoffs. After victories against the Pistons and Raptors, they lost 3 in a row against Hornets, Bucks and Pistons. With Wallace being injured, they've lost a key defensive player, as Varejao is not of the same caliber. LeBron had one of his worst games in Detroit, and hasn't been himself in the last 2 games.

Philadelphia 76ers are 6th, and are on a good run in this end-season, winning 19 of the last 25 games, and 8 of their last 10. After beating the Nets, Celtics and Bulls, they surprisingly lost at home against the Suns 2 nights ago. tHe 76ers were the better team, but as a result of their poor 39% shooting, in comparison to Suns 51%, they lost. Tonight i believe they can do better, and the Cavaliers are their bounce-back target.

The 76ers won in Cleveland in December 92-86. The 76ers outplayed the Cavaliers in that match, and despite shooting 4% worse, they won by 6 points. LeBron James was held to 21 points, after some good defensive plays from the 76ers. Iguodala has had a very bad night against the Suns, making only 3 of 12 shots and i expect him to perform much better tonight and help his team get a second win in Cleveland. I believe this match is going to be a close one, but the value is on the 76ers side and i will back it medium-low. Good luck.
