Philadelphia 76ers vs Toronto Raptors Prediction and Betting Tips (19.04.2022)

Command Analysis

Philadelphia 76ers

USA

Doc Rivers' men put up a great performance in the first game of the series. They took control since the first minutes of the match. Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris attacked the basket from any positions. Their scoring abilities brought a victory to their team. Maxey scored 38 points, collected four rebounds and gave two assists. Harris scored 26 points. He also tallied six rebouns and four assists.

We should note that Joel Embiid underperformed in the first match. Cameroonian player looked well on defense, collecting 15 rebounds, but failed to capitalize on the offense. Embiid scored only 19 points. But Philadelphia still earned a 131:113 victory.

Toronto Raptors

Canada

In the first match of the series Toronto's main problem was their 3-point shots. Canadian club made way less three-point shots than their opponents. Nick Nurse's men attempted 11 less threepointers in comparision with their opponents. Only 19 three-point shots hit the target, Sixers scored ten shots more.

Scottie Barnes and Fred VanVleet completely failed the game. These players failed to beat the 20-point mark. It surely affected the visitors' performance. Raptors will try to perform better in the second game.

Tip and bets

1.82Handicap (+9,5) for Toronto

In the second match the Raptors will probably perform better than in the first one. Nick Nurse is an experienced head coach. He will probably avoid mistakes in the second game. Visitors lost the previous match due to a terrible 3-point shooting. But today is the other day, so the Raptors will probably have more chances.

Canadian club won two matches at Pennsylvania in the current season. We are expecting a better performance from Nick Nurse's team today.

Our prediction - Handicap (+9,5) points to Toronto
