Betting Analysis and Predictions: Philadelphia 76ers at Toronto Raptors

The Toronto Raptors will look to stay hot and extend their recent winning streak as they take on the Philadelphia 76ers at the Scotiabank Arena, scheduled to tip-off at 7:30 p.m. ET.

It’s a big game for both teams, so how should you spend your NBA betting money?

The Raptors Avoid Play-In With Recent Run

The Raptors defeated the Atlanta Hawks 118-108 Tuesday, which secured a playoff berth and avoids Play-In.

It was the 12th win in the past 15 games for the Raptors, who have won two of the first three meetings against the 76ers this season. The 76ers are in a log jam for the 2-seed with three other teams.

Philly has a three-game lead over Toronto and have the cellar dwelling Pacers and Pistons after this game to conclude the regular season.

The 76ers are coming together at the right time and I feel they are the favorites to win the Eastern Conference.

What The Trends and Angles Reveal

The 76ers are 28-12-1 against the spread after failing to cover the spread in five or six of their past seven games spanning the last three seasons.

The Raptors are 3-14 ATS in home games following a double-digit win, spanning the past two seasons.

I like the 76ers to win this game and recommend using the moneyline .

As a bonus, I also like the first-half line betting the 76ers and expect them to get out to a fast start using their tenacious defense to build a first-half lead.

Philadelphia is 24-12 using the first-half line in games where its has attempted between 84 and 92 shots in games played this season.
