Prediction
76ers 106, Raptors 101
Moneyline (ML)
The 76ERS (-150) should get a much bigger test than they did Saturday in their 141-94 victory against the Cavaliers. The Raptors (+125) haven’t lost three games in a row in over one calendar year, but they’ll be up against it in Philadelphia against with an unblemished (11-0) home record.
New to sports betting? Every $1 wagered on a Philadelphia win profits $0.67 if the 76ers prevail. (Ex: Bet $10 to win $6.70, $20 to win $13.40, $5.99 to win $10).
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
Take the 76ERS (-2.5, –115), even though they’re just 8-17 ATS in the past 25 against the Raptors (+2.5, -106). Go lightly on the 76ers, as even though they’re just 2-5 ATS in the past seven in the second end of a back-to-back, they’ll have fresh legs with Embiid back in action after a rest Saturday.
Over/Under (O/U)
PASS. For the second straight day I just don’t care for the total in a Philly game. There is too much uncertainty with Embiid back, and the fact the rest of the team is playing in the second of a back-to-back. The under is 7-2 in the past nine meetings in this series, so if anything, there is a slight lean in that direction.
