OddsChecker: Take 76ers to close out series on road
It writes: "Oddsmakers still believe in the 76ers, given -120 odds to close the series out in Game 6. It’s easy to see why. Their shooting look has been woefully awful the last two games, which just isn’t going to continue. Eventually, James Harden, Tobias Harris, and Tyrese Maxey are going to hit shots. Why expect them to do so on the road? Well, Philly has the most road wins the East this year, and their road record is better than their home record. On the flip side, Toronto has all the momentum thanks to their strong defense, and oddsmakers now give them EVEN odds to win this game. However, they’re without Fred VanVleet, and his injury removes one of Toronto’s best offensive players. They only scored 103 in their last game without him. Pascal Siakam is playing his best basketball of the season right now, but he alone can’t carry the Raptors offense against the 76ers the rest of the way. A Raptors win is not impossible, but it does feel improbable. After all, the 76ers have only lost 3 games in a row three times this season. It would take a special kind of performance, from both sides, to see this series tied head to a game 7."
