NBA BUBBLE BUSTER "POP" goes the BOOKS
(NBA) Toronto vs. Philadelphia,
Point Spread: -8.00 | 101.00 Toronto (Away)
Result: Loss
The Philadelphia 76ers had won three in a row but a couple of injuries to key players and they are now on a two-game losing streak. Ben Simmons underwent season-ending knee surgery on Monday, star center Joel Embiid has an ankle injury. They were also missing Al Horford and Tobias Harris in Tuesday's loss to Phoenix. It may be better for the 76'ers to rest these players again if they have any chance at a playoff run.

Toronto on the other hand has won two in a row. This has been a remarkable season for the Raptors. After winning the title and losing their best player, all they did was post a 51-19 record and take second place in the Eastern Conference. Center Serge Ibaka is questionable for the game with a knee injury.

Everyone on the Toronto team plays defense. If Philadelphia rests their key players this could get out of hand in a hurry. Toronto can afford to play their starts for fewer minutes in this one and they will still roll.

Play on Toronto.
