Why the 76ers can cover

Philadelphia was able to get back on track with its 116-108 win against Dallas on Wednesday, as Joel Embiid returned from a one-game absence to score 25 points and grab nine rebounds. The 76ers have 50 wins in their fewest number of games since 2001, when Allen Iverson was leading the way. James Harden added a double-double in the win over Dallas, finishing with 15 points and 12 assists after missing the previous four games with an Achilles injury. 

The 76ers showcased their defense down the stretch, holding Dallas scoreless for the final 3:18 of the game. Toronto has struggled away from home throughout the season, going 12-24 in its 36 road games, including 1-6 in its last seven. Philadelphia has won eight of its last nine games against Eastern Conference opponents and has covered the spread in seven of its last 10 contests overall. Toronto lists five players on its injury report, including Gary Trent Jr. (elbow) who is questionable.

Why the Raptors can cover

Toronto extended its winning streak to three games with its 106-92 win over Miami on Tuesday, reaching the .500 mark for the first time since Dec. 9. The Raptors are in ninth place in the Eastern Conference, but Atlanta is only ahead of them via the tiebreaker. They are two games ahead of Chicago for 10th place, so this game arguably means more to Toronto than Philadelphia. 

Power forward Pascal Siakam scored a team-high 26 points on 10 of 20 shooting to go along with nine rebounds and five assists in the win over Miami. Forwards OG Anunoby and Scottie Barnes both finished with 22 points in a game where Toronto only played eight guys. The Raptors have covered the spread in four of the last six head-to-head meetings between these teams.
