Philadelphia at Toronto

Defense has taken center stage with all four games going UNDER. Philadelphia was top 10 in field goal shooting defense and beyond the arc during the regular season. They struggled to score at home the last game, trailing 47-45 at the half because Toronto is also a dynamite defensive team. Toronto is top 10 in points allowed, shooting defense and three-point 'D'. They held the 76ers to 40.2% shooting the last game, a 101-96 victory on the road as Serge Ibaka had nine rebounds and three blocked shots. Toronto is on a 12-4-1 run UNDER after holding Philly to 94 and 95 points the first two games on this court. In any NBA playoff series that is tied, the first half goes UNDER 376-262 as both bring intense defense with so much at stake. The wagering value is on the first half to be low scoring. Play the first half UNDER.
