The Toronto Raptors and Philadelphia 76ers meet Friday in NBA action at the Wells Fargo Center. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.

The Toronto Raptors are averaging 113 points on 45.7 percent shooting and allowing 111.9 points on 49.2 percent shooting. Pascal Siakam is averaging 24.2 points and 7.8 rebounds, while Fred VanVleet is averaging 19.8 points and 4.2 rebounds. Gary Trent Jr. is the third double-digit scorer and O.G. Anunoby is grabbing 5.1 rebounds. The Toronto Raptors are shooting 33.9 percent from beyond the arc and 78.2 percent from the free throw line. The Toronto Raptors are allowing 37.6 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 43.1 rebounds per game.

The Philadelphia 76ers are averaging 115.2 points on 48.6 percent shooting and allowing 110.5 points on 47 percent shooting. Joel Embiid is averaging 33.3 points and 4.2 assists, while James Harden is averaging 21.4 points and 10.8 assists. Tyrese Maxey is the third double-digit scorer and Tobias Harris is grabbing 5.8 rebounds. The Philadelphia 76ers are shooting 38.8 percent from beyond the arc and 83.5 percent from the free throw line. The Philadelphia 76ers are allowing 34.6 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 40.9 rebounds per game.

The Raptors are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games and 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall. The 76ers are 23-10 ATS in their last 33 home games and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The under is 4-1 in Raptors last 5 overall. The under is 5-1 in 76ers last 6 overall. The under is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings.

The Philadelphia 76ers are the better, more consistent team, and they should be decent sized favorites at home. However, the Toronto Raptors are a motivated team that’s still fighting for seeding in the play-in tournament, and they lose as underdogs by an average of just 2 points. The Raptors may be hit or miss, but they’re a competitive side that doesn’t lose big often. Give me the road dog.
