Philadelphia 76ers vs Toronto Raptors Predictions 4/20/2022
Many analysts projected the Raptors to win this series because of their championship lineage, strong finish, and regular-season success versus the Sixers. However, in the first two matches of the series, Toronto was brutally outclassed.
The Raptors just shot 42 percent from the field and 34 percent from three in Monday’s 112-97 loss, which wasn’t as close as the score suggests. They were unable to contain Embiid and ended up hacking him and others, resulting in 24 personal fouls. As a result, the differential in foul shots made was 26-10.
With 26 points, OG Anunoby topped Toronto, while Pascal Siakam scored 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists. Chris Boucher scored 17 points and eight rebounds off the bench, while Fred VanVleet had 20 points and seven assists. To make this situation worse, Toronto is now without two crucial players due to injuries.
Due to an illness, Gary Trent only scored 9 minutes in game 2 and is labeled as doubtful for game 3, while Scottie Barnes is also listed as questionable due to an ankle injury.
- The Toronto Raptors are 1-4 ATS in their previous 5 matches.
- Toronto is 14-6 SU in their last 20 matches.
- The total went OVER in 4 of Toronto’s last 6 matches against Philadelphia.
