76ers vs Raptors picks and predictions

Yeesh, imagine the horror of living in a reality where the 76ers swept the Raptors in four straight games… ewww. But as Toronto showed in the past two games, it doesn’t need the All-Star guard to win and did just fine cracking Philly’s defence with its top defender on the floor.
