Philadelphia will try and close out the series at home after they failed to do so on the road in Game 4. Both Joel Embiid and James Harden had underwhelming performances, so they'll need to bounce back for the Sixers to advance on Monday night.

Toronto Raptors vs. Philadelphia 76ers Betting Odds
The Raptors are just 1-5 in the last six games against the spread, while the 76ers have won four of their last five ATS.
Philly is also on a five-game winning streak at home as they've been much more comfortable at the Wells Fargo Center in recent history. They've covered the spread six times out of the last eight meetings when Philadelphia has been home against Toronto.
When looking at the Over/Under, consider that the total has gone under in seven of the Sixers' last eight games as a playoff favorite. This can be attributed to a slower pace, especially when every possession matters in an elimination game.

Scottie Barnes missed Games 2 and 3 due to injury but returned in a bench role for Game 4. He didn't provide much impact scoring-wise but still chipped in with 11 rebounds and two assists. The Rookie of the Year was only two assists away from a triple-double in Game 1 and should have a more prominent role offensively in Game 5.
Pick No. 2: Scottie Barnes Over 10.5 Rebounds + Assists (-111)
Toronto Raptors vs. Philadelphia 76ers Betting Prediction
The Raptors will fight hard on Monday night. But without their second-leading scorer and leading assist man Fred VanVleet, they won't be able to find enough consistent scoring to match the Sixers. The game should slow down, especially down the stretch, as it's been this series for most of the previous games.
