ROGERS' 10* NBA TOTAL OF THE WEEK
(NBA) Philadelphia vs. Toronto,
Total: 216.50 | -110.00 Over
Result: Loss
Philadelphia is up 2-0 in the series, but now it shifts to Toronto where the Raptors hope a change of scenery leads to better results. They’ve dropped the first two games by scores of 131-111 and 112-97. Game 1 went Over while Game 2 went Under.

The 76ers have become a much more dominant offensive team since acquiring James Harden, which is not all that surprising. They played eight games in April and the fewest number of points scored in any of them was 112. It’s not just Harden and Joel Embiid either; don’t forget Tyrese Maxey going for a team-high 38 points in Game 1.

For the series, Philly is shooting 51.7% overall, 48% from three and 86% from the line. Can they continue these percentages on the road? Maybe not, but I still expect them to score more than 112 points in this game.

Despite potentially being short-handed again, Toronto should shoot better here than they did in Game 2. We know Thaddeus Young will be back while the statuses of Scottie Barnes and Gary Trent Jr remain up in the air. The Over is 24-16 in Raptors’ home games. They average 111 points per game themselves at home.

The 76ers are 16-5-3 Over in their previous 24 games as a road favorite. As an away favorite, the team’s games average 223.6 points per game. Prior to Game 2, the Sixers’ previous five games had all gone Over.
