Overview

• 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.
