| Analysis:
Toronto started the season 1-4. Since that time, they've gone 8-1 and includes a current 4-game win streak. Ironically enough, their only loss during this 8-1 run came at Philadelphia 130-120. However, Joel Embiid and Kelly Oubre scored a combined 48 points in that contest for the 76ers, and both are listed as doubtful for today's game.
Philadelphia has averaged only 106.5 points scored per game and shot an uninspiring 43.9% from the field throughout their previous 4 contest. Conversely, over their previous 5 contests, Toronto has scored 121.3 points per game and shot a blistering hot 52.5% from the floor. It also must be noted that Toronto has limited their last 5 opponents to an average of 28.6% shooting on 3-point attempts.
Bet the Toronto Raptors as a money line favorite of -135 or lower.
