Philadelphia 76ers vs Toronto Raptors Odds Analysis

In the first two games of this series, we have seen a powerful 76ers offense. In both the games, the Toronto Raptors were dominated by the 76ers and the Raptors showed no signs of a fight. Right after Game 2, there was public criticism for the way Harden and Embiid especially were getting plenty of free throws. But still, this doesn’t change the fact that the 76ers were the much better team in both games. Could the Raptors bounce back? Most probably not, and even the opening odds for the third game shows that the 76ers are again favorites to win Game 3. Coming as a short underdog with +2 points, the Raptors will need much better performances to beat the 76ers.

Speaking of the Over/Under odds the totals lowered again after the weak Toronto Raptors offense in Game 2. The totals spread is set to 214.5.

Philadelphia to finish the job in the Game 3 and cover again -2@-110(odds via Bet365)

The 76ers were the better team in the first two games. The key factor for Philadelphia was the rotation. Toronto Raptors didn’t enjoy the same support from the bench as the 76ers and it could be argued that this is what made the difference.

For this game, the Philadelphia 76ers winning percentage on the road is 65.9% (27-14) and is the best in the East. It is also the 2nd best out of the entire playoff field, behind just Phoenix.

These two Atlantic Division rivals have met twice in the postseason before. Both of the series went literally as far as the final shot at the final buzzer in Game 7.

We believe this will not happen again in this series as Philadelphia appears to be much stronger than Toronto Raptors currently.

76ers and Raptors will go under the total again -214.5@-110 (odds via BetMGM)

Again we are going with the under here as we believe the 76ers will not meet the scoring they have in the previous two games. Both teams will be looking to improve their defense as this will be one of the key and deciding factors for Game 3.
