Raptors vs 76ers Prediction
The 76ers have been fade material all year, and it doesn’t stop now. The 76ers are 20 games below a .500 record and are 23-41 ATS on the season. Philly is now riddled with injuries, which doesn’t help matters. The Raptors may not win either, but they’re a profitable 38-26-1 ATS on the season, and they’ve seen 15 of their 22 wins come at home. The Raptors are also 2-0 SU and ATS in the two games against the 76ers this season. You can argue the Raptors should be bigger favorites in this spot. That’s how bad the 76ers are. Give me the Raptors and the reasonable number.
