The set-up: Philly is 20-11 and the Raptors are 16-15, but these two teams are suddenly moving in opposite directions. The 76ers have lost four of their last five, most recently losing 110-103 at the Raptors on Sunday. Ben Simmons was a bright spot with 28 points, nine boards and five assists.

The pick: Toronto's won nine of its last 12 and four in a row. Pascal Siakam had 23 points, seven boards and eight assists in the win over the 76ers, as he is finally working his way back to full health after an injury to open the season. These teams have been playing to several "unders" of late, but with Philly pushing the pace from the opening tip in a revenge bid here, I look for this total to fly "over" the number sooner, rather than later.

This is a 10* TOTAL EAST-COAST DESTRUCTION on the OVER 76ers/Raptors.
