Joel Embiid's play obviously has been affected by his thumb injury, but it's James Harden who needs to step up for Philadelphia as he scored only 15 points in Game 5 on 4-for-11 shooting. The 76ers have shot just 40.3 percent their last two games after averaging nearly 47 percent on the season. Toronto figures to cool off offensively after shooting 51.2 percent on Monday as it averages 44.5 percent. Embiid called out Harden for not being aggressive enough and that will be what it takes to get him going. The last four games have gone UNDER and Game 5 stayed UNDER by 21 points. Seven of the past nine meetings at Toronto have gone UNDER and the Raptors are 7-3 UNDER their last 10 games after winning by at least 10 points. Go with the 76ers on the moneyline, take the first-half to stay UNDER and also play the full game to stay UNDER.
