Prop Bets: Philadelphia 76ers VS Cleveland Cavaliers 2025-11-05
The 76ers vs. Cavaliers Showdown: A Tale of Rest, Rebounds, and Ridiculous Props
The Philadelphia 76ers, fresh off a loss to the Bulls and likely resting Joel Embiid (again, because why not?), are favored by 10.5 points over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The line suggests Philly’s offense (5th in the NBA at 117.1 PPG) will steamroll Cleveland’s porous defense (24th in defensive efficiency). But here’s the catch: the Cavs have Evan Mobley, a rebounding machine averaging 8.9 boards per game, and the 76ers are giving him a prop line of 8.5 rebounds. If Mobley’s line is any indication, this could be a dumpster fire for Philly’s rim protection.
Key Stats to Know:
- Tyrese Maxey (76ers): The rookie is scorching the league at 34.4 PPG, but his 6.5 assist prop is a steal at -138. Bet he dishes more than 6.5 if you’re feeling spicy.
- Darius Garland (Cavs): Back from injury, he’s got a 5.5 assist line at +110. If he’s rusty, this could be a “lay” for the under.
- Total Points: The over/under is 235.5. With the 76ers shooting 40.2% from three and the Cavs allowing 34.9% on threes, this game could be a shootout.
The Props That Make Us Question Our Life Choices:
- VJ Edgecombe (76ers): Will he record 4.5 assists? At +120, it’s a roll of the dice.
- Mobley’s Rebounds: At 8.5, it’s a coin flip whether he’ll dominate the glass or get out-hustled by the 76ers’ bigs.
- Donovan Mitchell (Cavs): Out with a hamstring, but his 26.5 point prop is still live? What even is this universe?
The Verdict:
The 76ers are a paper tiger without Embiid. Their offense relies on three-pointers (41.1% accuracy), and Cleveland’s defense will exploit their lack of interior presence. Meanwhile, the Cavs’ 15.9 PPG edge in fast-break points (3rd in the league) could be the dagger.
Final Prediction: Cleveland pulls off the 10.5-point upset, Mobley racks up 9 rebounds to torch his prop, and Maxey’s 6.5 assist line gets obliterated by a rookie’s hubris. Tip your cap to the 76ers’ front office for turning Fanatics’ promo into a “bet big or go home” spectacle.
