Result:
LOSS

The defending champions still aren't getting as much respect as they deserve, even though the Raptors are 15-6 straight up and 13-8 ATS, compared to 10-12 ATS for Philadelphia. Toronto does come off two tough losses, including in overtime to Miami and then to Houston, but those followed a seven-game winning streak by the Raptors. The 76ers annihilated the Cavaliers, 141-94, on Saturday as Ben Simmons made 12 of 14 shots and finished with 34 points and the Sixers shot an eye-popping 63.3 percent. Philly will cool off considerably in this one as it's averaging a .477 field goal percentage this season, and Toronto allows only a .411 shooting percentage. The Raptors are 21-9-1 ATS their last 31 games overall and 13-5-1 ATS against teams with winning records. Play the Raptors.
