This game is personal for the 76ers who lost in game 7 of the ECF in devastating fashion 2 years ago to the Raptors. That loss was especially hard on Embiid who is on pace to be selected for his first MVP award this year. I expect Embiid to continue scoring the ball efficiently. Each team comes into this game on win streaks, (2 for Philly and 3 for Toronto), but Toronto has beaten tougher teams and have home court advantage. The 76ers have not been good on the road, but the 76ers are playing very well this year so this game could really go either way. Take the under 223 total points, Joel Embiid over 30.5 points and Tobias Harris under 19.5 points. I think the Raptors defense will be tough for everyone but that Joel Embiid will get his 31 regardless.
