76ers at Raptors picks and predictions
Prediction
76ers 115, Raptors 101
Moneyline
PASS.
The Raptors have had little desire to win or even be competitive and will be without many of their key players. They aren’t worth a play on the moneyline. Similarly, the 76ers are far too expensive to play to win outright.
Against the spread
BET 76ERS -11 (-110).
The 76ers have been a double-digit favorite just once without Embiid in the lineup, and they covered in that game, beating the Hornets by 11 and closing as a 10.5-point favorite. The 76ers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games and have dominated the Raptors this entire season.
The Raptors are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a double-digit underdog. In their last 3 games as a double-digit underdog, they lost by 20 or more. Toronto’s defense has been abysmal, and its offense hasn’t been able to keep pace either.
Considering those trends, back 76ERS -11 (-110).
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 218.5 (-110).
The Raptors offense, without Barnes, Barrett, Quickley and their 2 top centers, hasn’t been able to do much of anything. They have scored 104 or fewer in 7 of their last 8 games and have gone Under 90 in 2 of their last 5. They will only have 2 players active who are averaging double figures on the season.
The 76ers are 3-5 O/U in their last 8 games, scoring 102 or fewer in 4 of their last 7. Their offense hasn’t been as potent without Embiid, and they don’t play at a fast tempo.
That said, neither team will be looking to run up the score. Take UNDER 218.5 (-110).
