Cavaliers Vs. 76ers: Cleveland Heads To Philly Mired In Big-Time Funk

Coming off perhaps their worst game of the year, the Cleveland Cavaliers will head east to take on the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday.

The Cavs, 17-29, have lost six of their last seven and three in a row, the most recent a 108-83 beatdown at home to the 25-24 Phoenix Suns. The game was so out of hand by the fourth quarter that not a single Suns starter logged more than 30 minutes -- and they still outscored Cleveland in the fourth.

The sluggish outing was only the most recent in a series of forgettable games. All told the Cavs have had three separate three-game losing streaks in the month of March, compiling a 4-9 record on the month.

The 76ers aren't the best opponent for a slumping team. Philly is 27-22 and in a first-place tie with the Boston Celtics in the Atlantic Division. With a 17-10 home record, the Sixers have the third-most home wins of any team in the Eastern Conference.

The game tips at 7 ET and will air on Fox Sports Ohio.
