76ers at Raptors picks and predictions
Prediction
Raptors 104, 76ers 100
Moneyline
BET RAPTORS (-103).
I have seen nothing this season to suggest that the 76ers are a better team than the Raptors.
I expect Philadelphia to look like 1 of the best teams in the East by the All-Star break, but they have underperformed up to this point (1-4 ATS). I can’t recommend betting the 76ers as a favorite on the road vs. a Raptors team that is having a better season than them.
Against the spread
PASS.
There is no need to buy the extra 1.5 points on the Raptors. Take the ML or bet the total as Toronto wins its 3rd consecutive game Friday.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 212.5 (-105).
Philadelphia’s defense wasn’t great Wednesday as it allowed the Raptors to score a season-high 119 points. However, the Under is 5-0 dating back to last season in Philadelphia’s last 5 games following a loss in its previous game.
Philadelphia will bounce back defensively after Wednesday’s loss, and the Raptors allow just 105 points per game (4th in NBA). The Under should hit Friday as both teams tighten up defensively.
