Toronto Raptors Notes
Kawhi Leonard had yet another dominant performance in Game 4 racking up 39 points and 14 rebounds in Toronto’s 101-96 road win in Philadelphia. Leonard is averaging 32.3 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game this postseason and is hitting 58.7% of his shots from the floor.
Pascal Siakam is also playing great behind him to help offset the disappointing postseason that Kyle Lowry is having. If Lowry gets going at some point, the sky is the limit for this Raptors lineup.
In their last seven games at home, the Raptors are 5-2 SU and ATS per the OddsShark NBA Database.
Philadelphia 76ers Notes
It had looked as though Philadelphia might have turned a corner in this series after Game 3. After gutting out a tough defensive win in Game 2, the 76ers looked like their explosive selves at home in Game 3 in a 116-95 win.
Joel Embiid led the way with 33 points in just 28 minutes of action and was a +31 in the game when on the court. Embiid was held to only 11 points in Philadelphia’s loss on Sunday. The 76ers are 7-6 SU and ATS in their last 13 games as a road underdog.
76ers at Raptors Betting Total
Tuesday night’s total is set at 211.5 points at sports betting sites. The UNDER is 4-1 in Toronto’s last five games at home.
With the exception of the slip-up in Game 3, Toronto has been lights out on defense this postseason. Couple that with a historically dominant run from Kawhi Leonard through the first nine games of the playoffs and you’ve got a Raptors team that just might be ready to finally take that next step. But first, they have to take care of business against Philadelphia.
