Philadelphia 76ers vs Toronto Raptors Prediction and NBA Odds
Philadelphia 76ers is predicted to win tonight’s game against the Toronto Raptors as per the latest Philadelphia 76ers vs Toronto Raptors Prediction and NBA Odds
The Philadelphia 76ers will look to secure their second straight win against the Toronto Raptors in Playoff Game 2 tonight. The 76ers ticked all the boxes in the Round 1 of the Playoffs and defeated the Raptors with a good margin.
Toronto’s plan to counter Embiid and Harden worked to some extent but it seemed like they were not prepared for the 21-year-old Tyrese Maxey. Maxey was absolutely brilliant in Game 1 as he added 38 points to his name and became the youngest Sixer to cross 30 points in a playoff game. His teammate James Harden heaped praises on him after the game. Harden said:
“I saw growth, man. I saw him from being up-and-down and not really having consistent minutes last year in the postseason to starting and having a huge role on a championship-contending team.”
The Toronto Raptors need to find some way to turn the tables in the second playoff clash after a big defeat. They seemed good only in the late first half of Game 1. Pascal Siakam played well as he scored 24 points for the Raptors. Siakam reflected on the defeat in the post-game conference. He said:
“Collectively as a team, we just didn’t match the intensity,”
The Raptors faced a setback during the last game when Scottie Barnes injured his ankle. His status is questionable for the next clash. The 76ers have no fresh injury concerns for the upcoming fixtures.
