76ers vs Raptors Prediction
The 76ers will get the nod from oddsmakers at home, but the value is with the Raptors and the free bucket. The Raptors have quietly won 8 of their last 9 games and have covered 7 of their last 10 games. Six of the Raptors nine wins this season have come on the road. The 76ers also continue to deal with constant lineup changes. One minute Embiid plays, the next he doesn’t. Paul George is back. Well, now he’s ruled out. It has to take its toll on a team trying to find some consistency. Give me the free bucket with one of the hotter teams in the league.
