76ers vs Raptors: Prediction| Odds| 2022 NBA playoff picks
Prediction:
Devin Booker’s return from injury gave Chris Paul more room to attack, and Paul obliged with the best shooting night in NBA playoff history.
He went a perfect 14-of-14 from the floor on the way to a game-high 33 points, making the most field goals without a miss in a single playoff game.
The Suns did not have it easy though, with Booker’s three-pointer putting the Suns ahead at 106-104 with 1:42 remaining. A CJ McCollum turnover on the next possession effectively secured the Suns the series.
Odds:
Luka Doncic and Jalen Brunson each scored 24 points and Dallas beat Utah in Game 6 to wrap up the first-round series.
After Brunson hit a 3-pointer from the corner, Mike Conley was called for traveling with five seconds remaining, and Brunson made one of two free throws with 4.3 seconds to play.
The Pels were up 10 at the half, but foul trouble for McCollum, Herbert Jones and Jose Alvarado made lineups and finding consequent balance complicated for first-year head coach Willie Green.
2022 NBA playoff picks:
- 76ers vs. Raptors spread: Philadelphia -1.5
- 76ers vs. Raptors over-under: 209.5 points
- 76ers vs. Raptors money line: Philadelphia -125, Toronto +105
- PHI: Embiid led the NBA in scoring (30.6 points per game) during the regular season
- TOR: Raptors rank third in the league in the playoffs in assist-to-turnover ratio (2.18)
While Thybulle is a troublesome defender for opponents, he doesn’t move the needle significantly elsewhere, and has only scored 10 total points in the three games he has played otherwise.
Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet is doubtful (hip) once again after missing Game 5, and the 76ers should capitalize with a tighter rotation of their own players.
