Raptors vs 76ers Prediction
Usually, the second meeting is even more competitive than the first, which would probably favor the 76ers. However, the 76ers continue to have lineup issues, as this team just can’t get healthy. The Raptors beat the 76ers yesterday in overtime despite having injuries themselves. The Raptors are now 7-3 SU and ATS in their last 10 games, and they’ve won 6 of the last 7 games against the 76ers. A win like last night only add to the confidence of a team like the Raptors. The Raptors are 6-0 ATS and 5-1 SU in their last 6 games as an underdog. I’ll grab the free bucket with Toronto at home.
