76ers vs Raptors Analysis
The 76ers will attempt to close out on their home court tonight, and the books expect them to do that as the spread is -8 for Philly and the total is at 211.5. Let’s find a best bet for this game.
Raptors Trying to Avoid Extinction
They will sit VanVleet tonight which is the smart thing to do. VanVleet is dealing with a hip issue that has hurt him all series, and he’s not helping the team, especially with Barnes back.
Barnes played 26 minutes last game and had an impact immediately as he grabbed 11 rebounds and Siakam finally had a game they’ve desperately needed all series which helped get them a win.
Getting a win on the road will be difficult, but not out of the question as Toronto took them to OT in game three and won in game four.
76ers Try to Close
They’ll be on their home court, but Embiid’s thumb is a cause for concern as he hasn’t been dominant, and the pain is a big deal.
The last couple games we saw contributions from all over the place from Philly as Embiid only had 21 points in game four and he needed OT to get over 30 in game three.
This isn’t going to be a walkover game for the 76ers as Toronto probably has some confidence now as they could easily be 2-2 in this series, and with a banged up Embiid, I don’t like the spread.
76ers vs Raptors Prediction
I’ll take Toronto +8 tonight. Embiid looks compromised and I don’t have faith in Harden taking over a playoff game with his history in big games. Philly could win, but I’ll take the points for sure with the Raptors.
Prediction: Toronto Raptors +8
