Sixers vs. Raptors Betting Odds, Picks, Prediction (April 7, 2022)
On Thursday night, the Sixers will visit the Toronto Raptors. It will be the 80th game of the season for each team. The Sixers are 49-30 and tied with the Milwaukee Bucks for third in the Eastern Conference. If the season ended today, the Sixers and the Raptors would meet in the first round of the playoffs.
Let’s get into our Sixers vs. Raptors betting pick with player prop predictions, odds, and analysis for this April 7, 2022 matchup.
Sixers vs. Raptors Betting Pick (April 7, 2022)
It’s impossible to know what to hope for with the Sixers tonight.
The Sixers’ final two games will be home to the Indiana Pacers (25-55) and also home for the Detroit Pistons (23-57). It feels safe to project both of those games as wins. It appears that the Sixers have, for the moment, taken one of their bogey teams off the possible first round dance card.
The Brooklyn Nets are going to be in the play-in, and the two teams that survive the play-in will be paired with the top two seeds in the conference. If the Celtics lose to the Bucks tonight, it could get weird. If the standings hold, though, the Sixers will face either the Bulls or the Raptors in the first round. Does that feel safe? You know, maybe, sort of.
Eventually, though, the Sixers won’t be able to count on other results or seeding fluctuations to save them. Eventually, the Sixers are going to have to deal with the Celtics, the Bucks, the Heat, or the Nets. Do you think they can win a series against any of those four teams? Really? REALLY?
Maybe it’s best to just enjoy the next few games while there is, comparatively, so little at stake.

These teams played on March 20 in Philadelphia, and neither team scored 100 points. The Raptors are sixth in the NBA in defense as measured by opponents points per game. The Raptors are also not an especially high-scoring group, 20th in the league (109.4 points per game). Raptors’ coach Nick Nurse will have no interest in allowing the Sixers much in the open court, and as such this game could be a battle of attrition.

Bets We Like Independent of Outcome
Joel Embiid Over 32.5 Points (-105, Caesars Sportsbook)
21+ and present in participating states. Gambling problem? Call 1 - 800- GAMBLER.
It’s a shame that the regular season is coming to an end, because given a few more weeks against tired opponents, the Embiid points over/under prop could have ended up at 40.5 one of these nights. The -105 here suggests that the book agrees that the scoring generally in this game will be lower than usual. That doesn’t mean Embiid won’t get his…it more likely means a dreadful night for the Sixers’ bench.

Tyrese Maxey Over 15.5 Points (-125, DraftKings Sportsbook)
States: AZ, CO, CT, IA, KY, IL, IN, KS, LA, MA, MD, MI, NJ, NY, OH, PA, TN, VA, WV, WY
Maxey broke out of a mini-slump in a big way with 30 points against the Pacers two nights ago. He won’t get 30 tonight; he might not even get 20. But he’ll get at least 16, which is all we care about. Maxey is averaging better than 17 per game.

Matisse Thybulle would have been assigned to slow Siakam down for at least part of this game. Thybulle is out tonight, though. Siakam has posted double doubles in four of his past five games. His season averages are 22.5 points per game and 8.5 rebounds a game. Essentially, we’re getting positive odds on Siakam getting two more rebounds than normal.

With everything that is happening above and below them in the standings, and with the knowledge that this is the last road game of the season, it’s difficult to imagine that the Sixers will have either the motivation or candidly the desire to win this game. If the Sixers win out to end up with 52 wins, they could conceivably secure the second seed and end up playing the Nets in the first round. Gross. There’s an easy way to avoid that tonight.
