00:00The Philadelphia 76ers are going to take on the undefeated Cleveland Cavaliers in Philadelphia.

00:04Sixers played yesterday, Joel Embiid, who already said he's never playing a back-to-back.

00:09They lost last night.

00:10They're getting nine and a half points tonight from the Cavaliers, and a total that sits

00:14at 218.

00:15So, I want your take on back-to-backs in the NBA and why we even have those, and why would

00:20you ruin the product the day after the Cup by saying most of these teams are playing

00:24on back-to-backs, which a lot of the superstars will likely sit out.

00:28Come on now.

00:29It's all about that money, money, money!

00:33And I mean, money rules the game, Donny.

00:35I'm surprised they're not trying to make the regular season, you know, just add a little

00:39ten-piece at the back end of it because we need to see a bit more basketball.

00:42But yeah, absolutely going to factor that in for your handicapping.

00:45You know, a lot of the younger teams with more depth, they're going to be, you know,

00:48charged up for that back-to-back.

00:50But teams like the 76ers who have been sluggish from the jump, you know, we got Joel Embiid

00:55back in the mix last night, probably not going to be out there this evening, 2-8, only

01:00with the one win at home.

01:02It's going to be a big problem.

01:03And the Cavs playing some really good basketball.

01:06So when we get in a spot like this, Donny, I'd like to lean towards some of the live

01:09betting, just see who's actually going to enter the game, you know, through the midway

01:13through the second, the coaching adjustments, and maybe try and, you know, jump into the

01:18mix there.

01:19But for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they have been the standout of the season thus far,

01:236-0 on the road, still undefeated.

01:26They're putting up plenty of points.

01:28I mean, Spider Mitchell has been in his bag, and they're playing some really good basketball.

01:33It's a, you know, good team performance, more so than a team loaded with superstars.

01:38But right now it's working for them at 10 points.

01:42That's a big mark.

01:43So a little scary for me to tackle prior to tip-off.

01:46You're right.

01:47You take a look at the Sixers' anticipated starting lineup tonight, Lowry, Oubre, George

01:50Martin and Drummond.

01:51Obviously, the big man in the middle, Joel Embiid, not going to play in this back-to-back

01:54here.

01:55But you're getting a full blast cast here for the Cavaliers' anticipated Garland, Mitchell,

01:59Corral, Mobley and Allen.

02:01That line currently sits at nine and a half at the Pandle Sportsbook.

02:04And if I'm betting, I do think Cleveland wins in covers, but I'm probably more likely to

02:07take a Sixers' team total to the under in this game.

02:10I'm not so sure they even get to 100 points.

02:13So that's the way I would be looking.
