Raptors vs 76ers Game 5 Preview:
The Toronto Raptors vs Philadelphia 76ers Game 5 of this NBA Playoffs Eastern Conference Round 1 is set to start this Monday Night and I’ll be giving you my Free Expert NBA Picks and Player Props plus the NBA Parlay of the Day, so let’s get right into this sports betting report.
The latest Draftkings NBA Odds have the 76ers listed as a -7 point favorite against the spread with the over/under at 209.5 total points.
The Raptors avoided the sweep on Saturday with the 110-102 win and now look to pull off a big upset win here so they can be on their home court in Toronto for game 6.
Remember no team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win an NBA playoff series, so the odds are definitely not in the Raptors favor. Pascal Siakam came up huge for Toronto in Game 4 finishing with 34 total points including that huge 15 point fourth quarter.
The biggest question marks for this Game 5 will be the injury status of Toronto’s Fred VanVleet and for Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid. In the last game on Saturday, VanVleet strained his left hip flexor in the second quarter and is listed as questionable to play in this matchup. VanVleet has averaged 17.4 points, 6.4 assists and 3.6 rebounds in the last 5 games he’s faced the 76ers, so it’ll be a huge blow to their offense without him on the floor. Either way you’ll see way more minutes from Scottie Barnes who’s set to return to the starting lineup.
For the 76ers, Joel Embiid still is playing with that ligament tear in his thumb, but he’ll wait until the postseason to get that fixed. Embiid has averaged 26 points and 11.8 rebounds in the four games in this series.
I just put in a 1-unit NBA Player Prop bet on James Harden to score over 21.5 points at the -105 price. Then I have another 1-Unit NBA Player Prop bet in this game 5, so just text “prop” to 702-234-0597 so you can get free access to it.
