Toronto @ Philadelphia
Regular Season Records: Toronto 48-34; Philadelphia 51-31
What to Know
After a few days’ rest for both teams, the Toronto Raptors and the Philadelphia 76ers will meet up at 6 p.m. ET April 16 at Wells Fargo Center. Philadelphia will be strutting in after a win while the Raptors will be stumbling in from a loss.
Toronto ended up a good deal behind the New York Knicks when they played on Sunday, losing 105-94. Despite the defeat, Toronto got a solid performance out of center Chris Boucher, who had 21 points along with seven boards.
Meanwhile, while not quite a landslide, the contest between Philadelphia and the Detroit Pistons on Sunday was still a pretty decisive one as Philadelphia wrapped it up with a 118-106 victory at home. The 76ers can attribute much of their success to shooting guard Shake Milton, who had 30 points, and small forward Paul Reed, who had 25 points in addition to six rebounds. Milton’s performance made up for a slower game against the Indiana Pacers on Saturday. Milton’s points were the most he has had all year.
The Raptors are expected to lose this next one by 4.5. Now might not be the best time to take Toronto against the spread since they’ve let down bettors for the past two consecutive games.
A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Toronto comes into the matchup boasting the second most steals per game in the league at 8.99. But the 76ers enter the matchup with only 6.6 steals given up per game on average, which is the best in the league. Ball control might end up being a major factor in this one.
