Philly -4
76ers played very well as of late, especially at home. I expect Portland with big problems in the rebounding area against Embiid and Simmons with his size can bother Lillard alot with his three point shot. Philly seems to have a big defensive edge here and Portland does not look good enough to put up 110 points at the road here, which would be necessary. Wouldn't be surprised to see under 100 for the Blazers here.
Raptors -4
The Knicks are overachieving. Sure they played fired up at Madison Square Garden in their last games, but they are still not as good as it seems. Especially defensively they have problems. They Raptors won easily some days ago and I see not change much here. They have the tools to keep Porzingis low, which will be the key to have New York score less and the defensive problems by the knicks should be the clear advantage for Toronto then. Double digit win for the canadians here.
Cavaliers -7.5 (1st half)
Cavaliers are finally putting things together. The spread is large here, which has the risk for backdoor covers at the end of the game. LeBron told how everyone benefits from the concentrated play at the start of the game against Detroit and the resulting rest late in the match. Expect the cavs red hot with a double digit lead at the half, so that they can do what they did against the Pistons. Plus little revenge factor here, plus they owe something to their crowd at home, where they were not THAT good in the last games.
