LiontipsToronto vs Philadelphia. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Toronto played the most recent match with a weakened squad. In the match against Cleveland only eight players were available for the Canadian club. No one of key players were present in this match, so Raptors have suffered a heavy defeat (99:144).
We don't think that something will change in this match. Birch will probably return to the line-up in this match, but he won't be able improve team's performance. Raptors will play with almost the same squad as in the match against Cleveland. In this case, we don't think that Raptors will secure a positive result.
Philadelphia has a much better squad. In the most recent match against Washington Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris were in the line-up. Their successful performance helped the team from Pennsylvania to celebrate a 117:96 victory, a 17th in the regular season for the team.
Philadelphia has no significant problems in the squad before the match. Only Shake Milton and Andre Drummond are on injuried list, but they are not indispensable for the team. Their absence is unlikely to affect the Doc Rivers' men.

Tip and bets
On November Philadelphia suffered a home defeat to Toronto (109:115). But Pennsylvania team should be able to get revenge in this game. The absence of opponent's key players will help the Sixers. We think that 76ers will record a confident victory.
Our prediction - Philadelphia to win with a handicap of (-5) points
In the previous match Toronto failed to score even 100 points. We don't think that Canadian team will be able to improve the result. In this case, we are not expecting a high-scoring game.
Our second bet is on total under 215,5 points
