Player Prop to Watch

Joel Embiid (76ers) – Points Total: 26.5

If Embiid plays, he’ll be the key offensive piece. While returning from injury, he remains a dominant force in the paint.

Scottie Barnes (Raptors) – Assists Total: 5.5

With Toronto’s injuries, Barnes has taken on increased playmaking duties. Expect him to be a focal point in distributing the ball.

Prediction & Best Bets

Spread: 76ers -8.5 → Philadelphia’s home dominance makes them the favorite.

Total: Under 224.5 → The 76ers’ defense and injury uncertainties could lead to a lower-scoring game.

Player Prop: Joel Embiid Over 26.5 points → If he plays, Embiid should put up big numbers.

The 76ers have the advantage at home, and unless Toronto can control the tempo, this could be another tough road loss. Expect Philadelphia to use their defensive intensity to wear down the Raptors and cover the spread.

Final Score Prediction: 76ers
