Raptors at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 116, Raptors 108

Moneyline

PASS.

The Sixers have looked great to start the season most recently winning in blowout fashion. They are coming off a few days rest and playing a Toronto team that is on the road while also playing in the back half of a back-to-back. Philadelphia is a deserved -350 favorite, but there is no profit to be made here.

Against the spread

LEAN RAPTORS +8.5 (-105).

While the Raptors are playing on the road and also played Wednesday night, they are coming off an impressive 19-point win against the Bucks, who beat the Sixers to open the season. Toronto appears to be a hit-or-miss team this season, but they kept the game within reach the 1st time playing Philadelphia this season.

Over/Under

BET OVER 215.5 (-115).

Philadelphia has hit the Over is all 3 of its game this season and should be expected to carry a majority of the load on Thursday night. It has scored at least 114 points in its 3 games including 126 in its 1st home game. Toronto exploded offensively Wednesday with 130 points and will try to keep the spark going. It will need to be actively offensively if it wants a chance to come out of Philadelphia with a victory.
