76ers Moneyline (-125) Over Raptors

This game should be like the first three matchups, which were close and highly competitive, as this is an important contest between squads that have been among the best in the league since the All-Star break. The 76ers are in a three-way battle for the second seed in the Eastern conference with the Celtics and Bucks. All three teams are 2.5 games behind conference-leading Miami, though Boston has a game in hand. Meanwhile, the Raptors (46-33) could essentially wrap up the fifth seed in the East with a win.

Philadelphia (49-30) has won three straight and is 14-7 with a plus 5.0 scoring margin since February 23. The 76ers have been pretty good offensively during this stretch, averaging 115 points, as Tyrese Maxey has turned the big three into a potential big four due to his superb play since the All-Star break. Joel Embiid continues to make a strong case for MVP and has played well against the Raptors, averaging 28.5 points, 12 rebounds and three assists. While the Sixers have been much better offensively since James Harden‘s arrival, they have had some difficulties on the defensive end. However, they have been pretty good on the road all season long and have held Toronto to an effective field goal percentage of just 48%. The keys to the game for the Sixers will be getting to the free throw and defensive rebounding, which they have done a better job of with Harden in the lineup.

Toronto is playing some really good basketball, having won six of seven and going 14-8 since the All-Star break. The Raptors have been winning recently due to increasing offensive efficiency, dominating the glass and playing solid overall defense. The Raptors have grabbed the second-most rebounds and third-most offensive boards during the second half of the season. They also rank third in defensive ranking during this stretch. Pascal Siakam and Scottie Barnes have stepped up their play over the last 22 outings, combining for 41.5 points along with 16 rebounds (4.7 offensive) and 8.9 assists a game.

Matisse Thybulle (ineligible) will not be available for the Sixers while O.G. Anunoby (thigh) could return for the Raptors after missing the previous two games.
