Right now, the over/under line for the game is sitting at 223.5 and given that our model is projecting 189 points between the teams, we like the under.
Ascending Raptors Set Sights on Spiraling 76ers
As the 2024-25 NBA regular season nears its close, the Toronto Raptors and the Philadelphia 76ers are heading in vastly different directions. The Raptors, energized and united under head coach Darko Rajakovic, will seek their fourth consecutive win when they visit the free-falling Sixers on Sunday.
Raptors: Finding Rhythm and Defensive Identity
Despite a rocky start to the season, the Raptors (27-47) have found new life over the past month. Winners of nine of their last 14 games, Toronto has flashed a strong blend of young energy and defensive grit — hallmarks of Rajakovic’s philosophy.
In their most recent victory, a 108-97 win over the Charlotte Hornets, Jakob Poeltl was dominant with 24 points and 12 rebounds. Immanuel Quickley added 19 points and nine assists, while Scottie Barnes contributed a well-rounded 18-point performance.
“It’s great to see how hard they play and how connected they are,” Rajakovic said. “Everything starts with effort and chemistry, and we’ve built something special over these past few weeks.”
The Raptors have held opponents to just 95.7 points per game during their current win streak. Much of that success stems from their growing comfort within Rajakovic’s system, especially on the defensive end. Poeltl, in particular, has been sensational, hitting 30 of 36 shots over the last three games.
However, the Raptors will have to find interior solutions on Sunday without Poeltl, who is expected to rest.

76ers: Free Fall and Lottery Hopes
The 76ers (23-51) have dropped seven straight and were officially eliminated from playoff contention following Saturday’s 118-95 loss to the Miami Heat.
Despite the blowout, Philadelphia found some silver linings in the development of their young core. Jared Butler recorded 19 points and 10 assists, while rookies Justin Edwards and Adem Bona combined for 33 points and 16 rebounds.
Still, the overarching narrative is disappointment.
“Obviously it’s not anywhere near where we had hoped it would be when we set out this summer and this fall. That’s for sure,” head coach Nick Nurse said after the game.
Now, the Sixers’ focus turns toward the NBA Draft Lottery. If their pick lands in the top six, it remains with them. If not, it goes to the Oklahoma City Thunder — a tough pill to swallow given the value of a top draft asset.

Previous Matchups: Raptors Own the Series

In that game, bench players A.J. Lawson (28 points) and Orlando Robinson (25 points) stunned the Sixers, showcasing the Raptors’ growing depth.
