Toronto Raptors vs Philadephia 76ers Match Preview, bets, odds, and more | 23 April

The NBA Playoffs are in full swing now and in this game, the Philadelphia 76ers will take on the Toronto Raptors in the fourth game of the Eastern Conference First Round series. The 76ers have taken a strong three-nil lead and just need one more victory to advance to the next round. The last win came in the Overtime as Joel Embiid banged home the gamewinner three.

Handicap: The bookmakers at 1xbet believe the Sixers will win and there is little doubt about that after their three-nil start to the series. I believe that the Raptors will come up amped up here and the 76ers may face trouble taking this game despite having a three-nil lead. I believe the Raptors will defend the HomeCourt here and I see them winning them by 3-4 points. I’d opt for Any Other Score- Win With Difference Less Than 6. (Any Other Score- Win With Difference Less Than 6 for 2.9)

Individual Total 1: The bookmakers at 22bet believe that the odds for Under/Over 105.5 of the Raptors are 1.90. The Raptors scored 101 in the last game and out of the three games, they have only scored 105+ once. I believe the Raptors will be “Over” here. (Individual Total 1 Over 105.5 for 1.90)

Player Props: Bookmakers at bet365 predict that the odds of OG Anunoby going Over 18.5 Points are 1.86. He has scored 26, 26, and 20 in the last three games, and he has been in terrific rhythm lately. I believe he will be “Over” again. (Player Props: Player Points: OG Anunoby Over 18.5 Points for 1.86)

This game can be seen on the NBA League Pass.

Raptors' offense has struggled for two games in a row and the last loss must be stinging because the team had a chance to seal the deal. Van Vleet has struggled in the last two games, shooting 30% or below due to which the Raptors' offense has been unable to pull through. Gary Trent Jr. has been an inconsistent scorer too. Siakam has also shot below 40% in the last two match-ups. The Raptors got outrebounded 32:46 in the last game and that is one area where the team has suffered a bit considering Embiid's presence. Toronto need to fix the offense if they want to get something going.

As expected, after a slim first game, Joel Embiid has lodged two 30+ points nights in a row and that has helped the matters. His rebounding also has been huge but the sweetest contributor has been Tobias Harris, who has been huge on rebounds and he has also chipped in with two 20 or more points nights already in the series. Maxey and Harden make for a sturdy scoring backcourt and now Danny Green has also picked up his game. The 76ers' defense has been at its peak. The 76ers committed 22 turnovers in the last game but pulled through because they shot 51% from the floor and on the back of the game-winner by Joel Embiid
