Toronto at Philadelphia

Philadelphia will try again to advance deep in the playoffs after several tries the last few years. The 76ers come into the postseason winning five of their last six games and with an MVP candidate in Joel Embiid, who averaged 30.6 points and 11.7 rebounds while shooting 49.9% overall and 37.1% from 3-point range. The Sixers also have James Harden this time around, and he is averaging 22.0 points with 10.3 assists. Toronto has five players scoring in double figures, including Pascal Siakam (22.8 points per game) and Fred VanVleet (20.3 points per game), but the Raptors are going to have to expend a lot of energy trying to contain Embiid, and that will leave Harden with some open space, which is what the 76ers were counting on when they acquired him from the Nets. Toronto is 19-7 UNDER in its last 26 road games and 8-1 UNDER after an ATS loss. The Raptors are 2-6 ATS when playing with at least three days rest, and Philadelphia has covered four straight when playing on three or more days rest. Play the 76ers and the UNDER.
