The 76ers losing an elimination game on their home court would be devastating to their players and the fans. This is a very talented team, but they've struggled partly because of the opponent and also because their best player has struggled with a respiratory issue. At home, Joel Embiid should get some extra adrenaline from the crowd. Look for Philadelphia to stave off elimination Thursday.

Toronto has won and covered the last two games convincingly and has now covered 16 of the past 22 meetings. Philadelphia center Joel Embiid is getting blasted by the media for weak play, and Ben Simmons might be distracted by off-court issues. The Sixers need those guys to step up, yet both are sulking. They can't stop Kawhi Leonard, but I think they're tired of getting roasted and will step up Thursday in an elimination game. Take the home underdog.

This has been a low-scoring series since the beginning, as the Under has gone 4-1 through the first five games. Game Five was the first to go Over, and did so by 1.5 points while the four other games stayed Under by an average of 20 points per game.

Kawhi Leonard is a superstar, but the Raptors aren't relying on any one player to get it done in this series. That balance can carry them again versus the inspriational effort the Sixers will likely bring at home in Game 6. Toronto can always return home for Game 7, but with the Bucks rested and ready for the next round, it behooves the Raptors to bring their 'A' game here. Lay the points.

The Raptors have the Sixers on the ropes with the chance to deliver a knockout punch in Game 6. Whether it be due to an illness or the defense of Marc Gasol, Joel Embiid just hasn’t played that well for much of the series. The Raptors are the superior team, so I’ll take them to close things out with a win.
