Toronto Raptors vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction
I’m not running to the window to back either of these teams with all of the injuries. The 76ers are still down two of their top three players, while the Raptors will be without endless rotation players. The difference here is the 76ers will have the best player on the floor in Maxey and Oubre is coming off a strong season opener. The 76ers still have more to work with. The Raptors are a bad team that’s even worse without so much production. I’ll lay the reasonable number with the 76ers.
