The Raptors are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 home games. The home team is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings.
Prediction:
I feel like the wrong team is favored here. Toronto is without Kyle Lowry and Serge Ibaka, plus of course superstar Kawhi Leonard who provided the playoffs dagger six months ago is now in LA. But even so, Siakam and VanVleet have been a two-man wrecking crew as of late with significant contributions coming from role players such as Powell and Boucher. The Raptors haven’t lost at home, whereas Philly has struggled away from home. I’ll gladly take the Raptors as small dogs here.
