Result:
LOSS

The Philadelphia 76ers have not started as quickly as they did a year ago, and their consistency has been lacking despite winning their last two games. They clearly miss Andre Igudola who was the one offensive staple that could get them a bucket when they began to go into their typical offensive droughts. It has led them to score in the 80s or less in half their games on the season thus far. Laying points with an offense this bad is a recipe for disaster. Toronto is off an inspiring win against Orlando, and for the first time this season the Raptors have won two of their last three games. They bring that renewed confidence into Philadelphia tonight, where they will also be playing to exact revenge for a 10-point loss earlier in the season to the Sixers. This has been one of the most successful arenas for the Raptors who own an 18-5-2 ATS mark in Philly. Since Doug Collins took over last year, the Sixers are just 4-8 straight-up as a home favorite in this range (-165 to =250). They are also 1-6 straight-up over that period at home with a total in this range (180 to 185). Tonight the Raptors are playing with confidence, and revenge in a place they are comfortable, and I like their chances at the straight-up win. Play Toronto on the moneyline.
