Cleveland Cavaliers Face Injury-Plagued 76ers in Final Regular-Season Matchup

The Eastern Conference leaders aim to capitalize on their size advantage against a depleted Philadelphia squad missing key players, including Joel Embiid.

The Cleveland Cavaliers (36-7) visit the Philadelphia 76ers (15-27) at Wells Fargo Center tonight at 7 p.m. ET for their final regular-season meeting.
The Cavaliers lead the season series 2-0 and enter the game as heavy favorites, despite being without Evan Mobley and other key contributors due to injuries.
Philadelphia is significantly undermanned, missing Joel Embiid, Andre Drummond, and Kyle Lowry, forcing unconventional lineups and reliance on Tyrese Maxey for offense.
Cleveland’s Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell are expected to lead the offense, while Jarrett Allen’s dominance in the paint could exploit Philadelphia’s weakened interior defense.
The Cavaliers, holding the NBA’s best record, aim to rebound from a narrow loss to Houston and sweep the season series against the struggling 76ers, who have lost seven consecutive games.
