Philadelphia 76ers vs Toronto Raptors Prediction 3/12/25 NBA Picks

The Philadelphia 76ers invade the Scotiabank Arena to take on the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night. Here’s a Philadelphia 76ers vs Toronto Raptors Prediction. This article will include a Philadelphia 76ers vs Toronto Raptors Pick.

The Philadelphia 76ers have been in a major slump as they’ve lost 13 of their last 15 games overall and they will be hoping for a better effort after getting beaten by the shorthanded Hawks in a 132-123 road defeat on Monday. Quentin Grimes led the team with 35 points, seven rebounds, and five assists, Ricky Council added 19 points off the bench while Jeff Dowtin Jr chipped in with 17 points. As a team, the 76ers shot 50 percent from the field and 16 of 42 from the 3-point line as they struggled to keep pace with the Hawks from the start. They fell behind by as many as 22 points before they exploded for 43 points in the fourth quarter to cut the margin to single digits in the end. 

Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors have been in pretty good form as they’ve won four of their last five games overall and they will be eager to stay hot after blowing past the lowly Wizards in a 119-104 home win on Monday. AJ Lawson drained seven 3-pointers to lead the team with 32 points and 12 rebounds off the bench, Immanuel Quickley added 15 points with six assists while RJ Barrett chipped in with 14 points, 10 rebounds, and eight assists. As a team, the Raptors shot just 39 percent from the field and 16 of 49 from the 3-point line as they trailed going into halftime. Before they played excellent defense to dominate the third quarter by 34-19 to win comfortably on the strength of their bench players. The Raptors will meet the Jazz after this game.

Why the Toronto Raptors will win

• The 76ers have lost each of their last 11 night games against Eastern Conference opponents.
• The Raptors have won 13 of their last 15 home games against 76ers teams that held a losing record.
• The 76ers have failed to cover the spread in 12 of their last 13 games as road underdogs following a loss.
• The Raptors have covered the spread in four of their last five games against Atlantic Division opponents that held a losing record.

Why the Philadelphia 76ers will win

• The Raptors have lost each of their last four games as favorites against Atlantic Division opponents following a win.
• The 76ers have won four of their last six games as underdogs against the Raptors following a loss.
• The 76ers have covered the spread in each of their last five games at Scotiabank Arena following a road loss.
• The Raptors have failed to cover the spread in each of their last four games as home favorites following a home win.

The 76ers have ruled out Tyrese Maxey and Paul George again with Kelly Oubre Jr and Kyle Lowry both listed as questionable. The Raptors are going to be severely shorthanded with Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett both sitting this one out. You really couldn’t trust the 76ers at all, but they have a solid chance to get a win against a Raptors team missing almost all of their best players. This is definitely a game I would rather stay away from, but with the line so short, I would lean on the Raptors to take care of business at home in a close one.
