Toronto Raptors vs Philadelphia 76ers prediction
The Toronto Raptors continue to struggle with consistency, they come up small in big games, and the defense that we’re used to seeing from this group just isn’t there. The Philadelphia 76ers are dominant at home, where they’re 11-4 SU, and they’re also 19-8 ATS on the season. The 76ers have won 5 straight games against the Raptors, which includes a 15 point win back in November. I have no choice but to lay the chalk with the 76ers at home.
