Toronto Raptors Stats:

Record (Regular season and Playoffs): 49-37

ATS: 48-38-0

Over/Under: 42-44-0

Toronto Raptors finished the season in a good style. Since January they have been on a good 22-17 ATS. However they may have entered the playoffs with bigger expectations. They also just got a better team as an opponent and it seems like they lack the size necessary to compete with the 76ers. Entering the Game 5 they must improve especially the 3point percentage. If they want to steal another win, they must do much better then game 4, 8 attempts made out of 34 shots.

Philadelphia 76ers Stats:

Record (Regular season and Playoffs):  54-32

ATS: 54-32

Over/Under: 39-44-3

Philadelphia 76ers has done a great job so far and leads the series with 3:1. Since the start of the series, the 76ers went 3-0 ATS with a complete domination. However their leading hand in the team Joel Embiid got a high pressure defense and this resulted as a key. The MVP front runner was held to 21 points only, with 5 TO as the 76ers failed to sweep the Raptors.

Toronto Raptors to Cover the Spread (+7.5) @-110 (Odds via FanDuel)

The Toronto Raptors have finally found a solution of how to stop Joel Embiid and it worked. The Raptors put a lot of pressure on the Center and it paid off. Sending multiple players at the big man, forcing the ball out of his hands, and forcing 5 turnovers appeared to be the key.

Joel Embiid came into the game with a taped right thumb. Rumors are that he may have a torn ligament, but yet it is not confirmed. Either way he is probable and will most definitely play the Game 5.

On the other side, Toronto Raptors lost the leader of their group as VanVleet left the game after 19 minutes.  The All-star point guard is a big loss but however the Raptors welcomed Scottie Barnes , the Rookie of the year which is a great addition to Raptors rotation.

Toronto will give everything they have in their power, to get another win that will bring the series back in Canada for Game 6. They will die trying after all. Since the first two blowouts in Philadelphia with 15+ points, and the last second 3 point in Toronto they finally looked like a team. Philadelphia 76ers is still the favorite and will most probably win the series, but we expect at least Raptors to cover the 7.5 points.

After two under games, we think that it is again time for an over. The totals spread went the lowest in the series, if Toronto improves their last match terrible 3-point field goals, this is a clear over.
