Premium Pick

Toronto's had a fine season but lacks star power and this is a bad matchup. That was evident in Game 1, a 131-111 loss. Toronto's top scorers, Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet, combined for 42 points/13 rebounds. The problem for Toronto is they don't have the elite talent that the 76ers can throw out there in Joel Embiid, James Harden, and Tyrese Maxey. That trio combined for 79 points and 24 rebounds in Game 1. The 76ers are 20-9 ATS when playing their fourth game or less over 10 days, plus NBA favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points are 54-25 ATS off of three or more straight April home wins. Toronto has failed to cover five of the last seven meetings in Philadelphia, so back the home team that possesses far more star power. Take Philadelphia - Max Play
