76ers vs. Raptors Expert Betting Prediction

The dark horse Raptors can rebound from last year’s disappointments in the early weeks of the calendar. But with a questionable Scottie Barnes, they might have a tough time containing the Sixers’ core players. Chris Boucher lines up to start if Barnes doesn’t get the green light, while Otto Porter Jr. remains out of the lineup due to injury. The Sixers have the edge on paper with a relatively imposing starting lineup but don’t slur over the hosts just yet. Covering the spread should be doable for Toronto with their opponents just recovering from a three-game losing streak.
