76ers at Raptors picks and predictions
Prediction
Raptors 108, 76ers 102
Moneyline
BET RAPTORS (-105).
The market is higher on the 76ers than I am. I believe the Raptors should be favored in this matchup after covering 2 straight games vs. a Miami team that has the same championship odds as Philadelphia. Grab the Raptors as a slight underdog before they potentially become the favorite.
Against the spread
PASS.
There is no need to buy the extra 1.5 points on the Raptors. Toronto has been a slightly better team up to this point in the season and should win straight up at home.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 216.5 (-110).
The Under is 5-1 in Philadelphia’s last 6 games dating back to last season and 3-1 in Raptors games this season. Expect a tight, low-scoring game between 2 teams that have historically played each other at a slow pace. The Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between Philadelphia and Toronto.
