The 76ers are coming into this game playing very well recently winning 3 straight games. They have scored a lot of points in these games, scoring over 130 points in 2 of their last 3 games. The Eastern Conference is still wide open seeding wise and the 76ers have a chance to move up still and get a much better seed before the playoffs start. They have also been allowing a lot of points recently though and they have only won their last 2 games by single digits, both wins coming on the road as well. They are going up against a Raptors team that has also been playing very well recently winning 6 of their last 7 games and have been heating up coming into this game. They are coming off of a big win against the Hawks at home and they have been playing very well at home recently. Both teams have been playing great and the winner here will likely only be by a few points but the raptors have the slight edge here being at home with how well they have played there recently.
