The 76ers are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Raptors are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Thursday games and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The under is 4-0 in 76ers last 4 overall. The under is 4-0 in Raptors last 4 overall. The 76ers are 5-15 ATS in the last 20 meetings in Toronto and 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

This has been a defense series for the most part, and neither team has been able to find consistent offensive success. The Philadelphia 76ers are averaging 107.4 points in their last five games, and the Toronto Raptors are averaging 104.4 points in their last five games. The under has hit in all four games this series. With an elimination on the line, I expect another sluggish defensive game that's low scoring. Give me the under.

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
