NBA Same Game Multi Tips
Here are my NBA same game multi tips for the 76ers against the Cavaliers.
- 1st Leg – Cavs -0.5: The odds are tight in this one but the Cavs look to have the edge in the trends. The 76ers are just 0-7 at home against teams with a winning record and they seem to struggle after a win, going 1-7 in their last 8 home games.
- 2nd Leg – Over 237.5: In the last 10 meetings between these two teams, the Over has gone 9-1 and the trend should continue on Thursday. Maxey has scored scored 38 and 33 pts in his last 2 games. Meanwhile, the Cavs have scored over 120+ pts in 3 of their last 4 games.
