It’s a rematch of Wednesday’s game and last year’s first-round playoff series when the Philadelphia 76ers face the Toronto Raptors Friday evening. The Raptors won Wednesday 119-109 behind 27 points from Gary Trent Jr. and a double-double from Pascal Siakam.
The 76ers are 1-point favorites at DraftKings Sportsbook. The total is set at 213.
Update — Embiid has been ruled out for tonight’s game. This will impact the spread and obviously picking the Sixers. Embiid scored 31 points in a 119-109 loss to the Raptors last game. It’s tough to see Philly hanging in there without Embiid.
76ers vs. Raptors, 7:30 p.m. ET
Pick ATS: 76ers -1
This is essentially taking Philadelphia on the moneyline but you might get slightly better odds on the spread pick. Even with the two teams playing a few days ago, it’s rare to see back-to-back blowouts. Expect Philadelphia to bounce back big in this game as it looks to recover from a 1-4 start. Take the 76ers to win and cover.
Over/Under: Over 213
We just saw these teams beat this total a few days ago. Even with some adjustments, it’s hard to envision a scoring drop-off here. Back the over Friday.
