Joel Embiid played with a ligament tear in his right thumb and wore a brace, but he still scored 21 points on 7-for-16 shooting in 39 minutes as Philadelphia lost Game 4, 110-102, on Saturday. However, Toronto had a big edge at the foul line, making 28 of 35 compared to 21 of 25 for the 76ers, who shot 42.5% from the field. The last three games have stayed UNDER, and these teams have averaged 104.7 points in the First-Half in those games with Toronto shooting just 43% overall. The Raptors covered the spread for the first time in six games last out, and they are 2-6 ATS in the last eight meetings at Philadelphia. Toronto has gone UNDER in 20 of its last 28 road games and 12 of 16 conference quarterfinal games overall. Philadelphia is 14-6-1 UNDER versus teams with winning records and will come out focused defensively after losing on Saturday. Go with the 76ers for a Max Play, and also back the First-Half UNDER for a Max.
