76ers vs. Cavaliers: Game Odds, Players To Watch on Wednesday

On Wednesday, the Philadelphia 76ers start their three-game road trip with a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, who should you keep an eye out for?

On Wednesday, the Philadelphia 76ers start their three-game road trip with a game away at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

In their last time out, the Sixers took on the Washinton Wizards, breezing past their competition, 112-93.

Joel Embiid led Philadelphia's offense with 35 points on an impressive 57 percent shooting, bringing his 30-plus point game streak to five games, not having dipped below it since the beginning of the month.

James Harden also had himself a night, scoring 18 points while dishing out 14 assists to his teammates, helping fuel the Sixers' offense throughout the game.

While the Sixers' seemed to play a flawless game, they did suffer a loss as Jalen McDaniels left only minutes into the second quarter. He will not play on Wednesday after seeing his status downgraded to out. 

On the other side of the ticket are the Cleveland Cavaliers, who come into Wednesday's match hot on the tail of Philadelphia in the Eastern Conference standings, with only three games separating them.

In their last time out, they breezed through the Charlotte Hornets with Evan Mobley, Caris Levert, and Cedi Osman all scoring above 20 points in the match.

Jarrett Allen remains out for Wednesday's match as he continues to suffer from a contusion in his right eye.

Players To Watch:

Sixers: Joel Embiid

Given that Embiid was recently named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week, it should be no surprise that he is the Sixer to watch on Wednesday night.

Over the previous five games, Embiid has been on a roll, averaging 37 points on 60 percent shooting while also making two blocks per game and securing seven rebounds; truly an all-around player.

Cavaliers: Donovan Mitchell

Fans watching Wednesday night's match should keep an eye out for Donovan Mitchell, who should be more than well-rested, having sat on the bench for the entirety of Cleveland's previous game.

While he, too, has been averaging more than 30 points over the previous few games, fans shouldn't be forgetful of what Mitchell did the last time he took on the Sixers, dropping 25 points on 62 percent shooting in the closing half, helping bring his team back from an embarrassing deficit.
