Toronto has a top-five defense. Given the situation and potential players being out, UNDER the total is the way to go. The Raptors are the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference at the moment. But if the 76ers win, they would pass the Raptors. The two teams also meet again on Monday in Toronto. So each will be trying to set a strong defensive tone. Joel Embiid can never be counted on to play. He is questionable. Toronto could be without its three top scores. RJ Barrett has been ruled out with an ankle sprain. Brandon Ingram (right thumb sprain) and Scottie Barnes (right knee sprain) are each questionable. Those three players average a combined 60 points for the Raptors. The 76ers rank third in 3-point defense. So the Raptors are going to have to earn their points the hard way. They also are missing injured center Jakob Poeltl, who shoots 69.3 percent from the floor. The UNDER has cashed in 10 of Toronto's last 14 games. Take the UNDER.
