Philadelphia 76ers at Toronto Raptors: Key Injuries

Philadelphia 76ers at Toronto Raptors: Best Bet

Moneyline: The Raptors are slightly heavier favorites for Game 2 at -260 odds after their convincing Game 1 victory. They're still safe to take after seemingly finding a way to limit Embiid at both ends of the court.

Against the spread: Toronto is only up to a 6.5-point favorite after being spotted six points in Game 1 and winning by 13. Take the points at -110.

Over/under: The series opener came in well below the previous total of 222.5. The number's been dropped to 220.5 for Game 2, but we'll stick with the UNDER at -110.
