This is a 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the UNDER Raptors/76ers.

I was expecting a defensive affair in Game 1, but that scenario didn't play out at all in the 76ers' big 131-111 beatdown of Toronto.

The Raptors only average 109.9 PPG, so if they plan on clawing their way back into this series, they're going to have to come out with a different game plan today in slowing down the 76ers. Especially from range.

While the majority of the offense was run through big man Joel Embiid in Game 1, Philadelphia got a lot of open looks from the outside. Toronto is a very capable defensive team and Nick Nurse is a master of making effective adjustments from game-to-game.

Scottie Barnes, a big part of Toronto's rotation, was injured in Game 1 and his status is unclear for Game 2. Thad Young also got injured.

I believe Toronto will be risking life and limb on the defensive end this evening to try and disrupt the 76ers rythym.

When you add it all up, this Game 2 total is just a bit high.

The play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
