LiontipsPhiladelphia - Toronto: NBA match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Philadelphia is falling. No, it's not like that. It dives like a plane without wings. Seven defeats in a row, and there's no end in sight. In the last game on March 30, the Sixers went home against Miami without their main gun, Joel Embiid. The result is 95:118, and that's putting it mildly.
The only one who tried to save the honor of the house was Jimmy Butler. 19 points, two rebounds, ten assists — a double-double, but what's the use? Adema Bona scored another double-double (16 points +ten rebounds), but it was like cleaning up a house that had already burned down. Justin Edwards scored 17 points, Quentin Grimes scored 15, and Ricky Council scored 13, but Philadelphia (23-51) firmly established itself on the 13th line of the East. What kind of playoffs can we even talk about?
Disqualifications and injuries
Embiid went to the infirmary back in February, and, apparently, he is already booking an annual subscription there. Drummond, Lowry, Oubre, Maxie, and Paul George are also crowded into the infirmary, like in a pen before a slaughterhouse. This is no longer the composition of the NBA team, but a list of victims of bad karma.
Interesting facts for betting
Philadelphia and Toronto score an average of 216 points in head-to-head matches (statistics based on the results of the last ten games).
The Raptors are not standing on ceremony and have won the last three games in a row against the Sixers.
Approximate line-up: Butler, Grimes, Edwards, Council, Yabusele.
Current form
Toronto initially went into a steep dive, but then pulled the steering wheel and leveled off. Four losses and then three wins in a row, as if someone had reminded them that winning basketball was actually a good thing.
In the last game on March 29, the Raptors dismantled Charlotte 108:97. The main architect of the defeat is Jacob Peltl. 24 points, 12 rebounds, three assists. Quickley scored 19 points, Barnes - 18, Sheed — 17. Have a nice day at the office.
Darko Rajakovic's team (27-47) clings to 11th place in the East. The play-in is still looming somewhere on the horizon, but we'll have to run faster than they can.
Disqualifications and injuries
The Raptors went to Pennsylvania without Quickley, Dick, Peltle and Brandon Ingram. Someone has clearly stepped on a black cat this season.
Interesting facts for betting
Toronto scores three times worse than 25 other teams in the league (34.5%).
Philadelphia is slightly better, but not much — 34.6%.
Approximate line-up: Sheed, Walter, Barrett, Barnes, Robinson.

1.88Tip and bets
The bookies don't even pretend that Philadelphia is the favorite here. They are not just outsiders, they are already a ghost team. The season started with dreams of a championship, but it will end without the playoffs and with a lot of injuries. At least Toronto has some motivation to fight, even if the chances of a play-in are like trying to get a phone that fell into the toilet. Rajakovic and his guys just have to take advantage of the situation and get the win.
Prediction: Toronto wins with a handicap of (-2.5) points in 1.76
Betting on an individual total
The Raptors don't put on a Golden State-style show, but 109 points per game is their standard. And against Philadelphia, you can even set up a sight and smash the defense, which has already laid down its arms.
Prediction: Toronto's individual total is over 114.5 points in 2.08
The bet on the player
R.J. Barrett is a star in the absence of stars. When Quickley and Ingram are not on the court, he takes the ball and decides for himself. 21.3 points per game is his norm. And against Philadelphia? He can pick up more there. Wait for Barrett to come out and show you who's in charge.
Prediction: Barrett's total points are over 21.5 points per 1.87
