No Fred VanVleet for the Raptors again, although he frankly had been almost a detriment in this series with his shooting and defense. No Matisse Thybulle for the Sixers and that matters a bit defensively and for the team's depth. Joel Embiid is not healthy with the torn ligament in his thumb, and James Harden is not in shape or apparently interested. Dude is a team-killer. I think he hides Hershey's Kisses in that Beard. Honestly, any result here, even a blowout in either direction would not shock me, but I'll take the Dinos at home against the fading Doc Riverses: Rivers has lost 7 of his last 8 opportunities to close out a series.

Each team in the postseason has had a flat outing. The 76ers had that in Game 5. A veteran squad, Philadelphia will play to a high level in Game 6 to avoid a Game 7. I'm taking the 76ers to find a way to finish the Raptors.
