76ers vs Raptors prediction
Massive line for a road team, especially a team not at full strength but for good reason. The 76ers are still without Embiid, Covington and Melton, but it shouldn’t matter. The Raptors have gone almost a month without a win, and they’ve failed to cover 8 of their last 10 games. The Raptors have thrown in the towel on the season and are now focused on the offseason, as many key players have been shutdown. The Raptors just lost to the Knicks by 44 points, and before that scored 88 points against the Nets. The 76ers should roll. I’ll lay the points with Philly on the road.
