Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-4.5) for 76ers – 1.92.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Match Points Over 212.5 – 1.75.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Three – Raptors Points Under 105.5 – 2.20.
The Toronto Raptors have defeated Philadelphia three times this season. That was in regular-season games. The home team has two superstars – Joel Embiid and James Harden. The 76ers’ entire style of play will depend on that tandem. We think they’ll provide the Sixers with a comfortable win on their home court.
The Toronto Raptors are not a team that will play carefully. Nick Nurse’s team likes to run the pace. It’s likely that they’ll force the Sixers to be more aggressive.
The Raptors have not scored more than 105.5 points in their last four away games.

Last season, the Philadelphia 76ers were expected to qualify for the conference finals, but they failed to do so. Then they were stopped by the Atlanta Hawks. That failure was a disaster for Joel Embiid and the company. Now the Sixers will try to do better.
The Philadelphia 76ers finished the regular season as one of the top five teams. Given the poor quality of the bench, Doc Rivers will probably give more time to the team’s leaders.
In that game against the Pistons, Shake Milton scored 30 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.

The Toronto Raptors haven’t had the best start to the regular season. For a long time, the Raptors were outside the top 10 in the East. That all changed towards the end of the regular season. Nick Nurse got his team to play more consistently. Their successful play in the final stretch allowed the Canadians to make the playoffs.
For Toronto, it didn’t make much difference where they played. They’ve been equally successful on the road and at home. However, the Raptors’ performance was slightly worse on foreign soil.
In the last game against the Knicks, Chris Boucher scored 21 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.
