Raptors vs. 76ers recreation 2 prediction: 76ers -7.5
From Dellera’s perspective, he likes the 76ers to proceed their dominance in opposition to the Raptors even with such a excessive unfold.
The first cause? The Raptors are dealing with a big damage disaster forward of the second recreation. Scottie Barnes, Gary Trent Jr. and Thaddeus Young are all uncertain for Monday’s tilt, depriving head coach Nick Nurse of key gamers.
Plus, Dellera was impressed with the 76ers’ efficiency on Saturday and believes that it’ll proceed its environment friendly offensive play, led by commerce deadline addition James Harden.
“Harden had 14 assists in Game 1 and the 76ers were shooting almost 80 percent on his assist opportunities,” Dellera explains.
With extra scoring threats accessible, Dellera expects the 76ers protection will successfully restrict the Raptors’ alternatives, significantly by means of Joel Embiid, who will possible be tasked with shutting down Toronto large man Pascal Siakam. As a consequence, Dellera is completely satisfied to put seven factors with the hosts.
Player prop bets: Siakam over 5.5 assists | OG Anuoby over 16.5 factors
For his subsequent two bets in Philadelphia, Dellera is focusing on two-player props. The first prop he’s backing is Siakam over 5.5 assists.
“[Siakam] has played five games without Scottie Barnes this season and recorded eight, seven, seven, 10 and 12 assists in those games,” Dellera says.

Dellera’s second prop additionally comes on the Toronto facet: OG Anunoby over 16.5 factors.
Much like Siakam’s help developments, Anunoby has “smoked” his factors prop in video games with out Barnes, however with Siakam within the lineup. In 4 video games below these circumstances, Anunoby has averaged virtually 25 factors per recreation, so Dellera likes backing him to clear a comparatively low level whole tonight in Philadelphia.
All of those strains are beatable at DraftKings Sportsbook on the time of writing.
