Prediction

The 76ers have been on fire offensively since the return of James Harden and have averaged over 126 points per game in the last 4 games. The Raptors have been struggling lately and are on a 5 game losing streak although the last 2 losses have been very close games. However, the Sixers are hot right now and with the Raptors awful record on the road I gotta go with Philadelphia.
