Toronto Raptors @ Philadelphia 76ers:
Toronto Raptors (+ 8.5) /// 1.89
Last bet won. Second in a row! Once again, the bookies overrated the chances of Milwaukee, who once again failed the game. And Toronto is doing just fine! Dennis Schroder has only gotten better compared to last season. Especially his defense! And in this game he got 11 assists on 2 turnovers! He was cooking! Scottie Barnes also has obvious progress compared to last season. In this game, it's like he and Giannis swapped bodies. Barnes looked so powerful! Siakam and O.G. are still at the same level. High level, but not a star level. Toronto's bench is mid level, but quite balanced. My overall betting score: NBA 4-5 in favor of unsuccessful, MLB 30-27 in favor of successful, NFL+NCAAF 2-3 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Toronto will not lose to Philadelphia by more than 8 points. This game will be not so easy, but the bet is playable. This bet has won 11 times in the last 15 games between the Raptors and 76ers. I won't repeat detail information about Toronto in my previos prediction, but I just say that Raptors hasn't gotten any weaker since VanVleet left. The whole team is fine there! Philadelphia is perfectly fine too! A perfectly balanced team, with a great bench. Harden leaving will have no negative effect on 76ers. They got some very solid role players: the best version of the Morris brothers - Marcus, Nicolas Batum (a player with a very high basketball IQ and a great three-point shot), Robert Covington (who is happy to be back to the team where he started his career) and the still prospective Kenyon Martin Jr. From the 76ers left P.J. Tucker and prospective Filip Petrusev. And Danny Green was waived, as he is no longer an NBA rotation level player. Batum will not play in the game against the Raptors. Toronto will still have the same team, but on fire! There is no need to talk about fatigue, as almost the entire starting five played less than 30 minutes in game against Milwaukee (only Siakam played 33 minutes), so easy was the game against the Bucks. I think we will see a playoff level game where anyone can win. But Toronto will hold an 8-point handicap. Wanna bet? Sure.
