NBA Free Picks – Raptors at 76ers
by Jeremy Allingham
The Denver Nuggets since the trade – hard to believe, I know).
The Sixers are 12-6 in their past 18 games, including wins against LA Lakers. Andre Iguodala has adapted to his new role as the team’s go-to-guy, and Andre Miller has quietly run the team’s offense extremely efficiently.
The Raptors, on the other hand, are winners of six of their last eight, receiving outstanding play from team leader Chris Bosh, who has averaged 25.2 points and 13.8 rebounds in his last five games.
Home and away records could be the major difference maker in this one, as the Raptors have had some struggles on the road with a record of 15-23, while the 76ers have a decent home record of 19-17. The Raptors have had a brutal time ATS on the road this year, covering only eight times all season. Philly has done a decent job, covering the spread at home 16 times.
The Raptors’ poor performance on the road, combined with the fact that they’ll be playing their third game in four days, makes them ripe for an upset. Take the Sixers at home.
Friday, April 6 – 7:00 PM ET
Prediction: 76ers by 5
Last Week Record: 2-1
Overall Record: 11-9
