There could be a residual effect for the Raptors after blowing a 22-point lead on Wednesday. Even so, this NBA expert likes their chances to cover a favorable underdog spread against a vulnerable Sixers side.

My Raptors vs. 76ers prediction forecasts another outright defeat for the visitors, though the Raps should cover their largest underdog spread (+8.5) of the 2026-27 campaign so far. 

Let's dive into my analysis and NBA picks for Thursday, Nov. 12, ahead of the 7 p.m. ET tipoff at Xfinity Mobile Arena.

 TOP PICK
Raptors vs 76ers prediction: Raptors +8.5

Play this to +6.5, and avoid anything below +5.5.

The Toronto Raptors have held opponents to 113.3 points per 100 possessions over their last three games sans Scottie Barnes and Kawhi Leonard, 7.3 points better than the Philadelphia 76ers' during that span — painting a clear way Toronto can cover.

The Raptors also lead the league in fast-break points allowed (11.1), so a more methodical pace (16th) will suit them against a Philly side that averages 17.0 (fourth) per contest.

LeBron James' absence also deprives the Sixers of their strongest facilitator (6.5 assists), and they struggle to move the rock as is (25.7 assists, 20th). That lack of playmaking will also play into Toronto's ability to limit fast-break opportunities for Philly.

It's worth noting that of the Sixers' nine victories, seven have come by eight points or less.

Covers COVERS INTEL: Only three teams allow fewer 3-point attempts than the Raptors (34.7), while the Sixers rank 26th in attempts (34.2). With Toronto also limiting transition opportunities, Philadelphia has two fewer avenues to create separation —strengthening the case for an underdog cover.

Raptors vs 76ers combo

The 76ers are one of the worst teams in the Over/Under market at 4-8, largely because oddsmakers may have overhyped a star-studded offense that's only generating 109.8 points per 100 possessions (22nd). 

Collin Murray-Boyles has buried just six shots from behind the arc on 21 total attempts, and only one night saw him finish with more than one.

He's taken 10 in six road games, compared to 11 in four home games, so he's obviously more comfortable letting it rip at Scotiabank Arena.

Philly will dare him to shoot tonight, and CMB will reward the defensive gaps it creates by failing to make a single triple. 

Raptors vs 76ers combo

  • Toronto Raptors +8.5
  • Under 224.5 points
  • Collin Murray-Boyles Under 0.5 threes

Raptors vs 76ers player props

Raptors player prop: Immanuel Quickley Over 15.5 points

Play up to 58%.

Immanuel Quickley's return to action on Wednesday after a two-game absence resulted in his worst line of the season: 11 points on 3-for-14 shooting, with just one 3-pointer on eight tries. 

This feels like a buy-low on a player Toronto desperately needs to shine. He has yet to score less than 18 points against the 76ers whilst a member of the Raptors in five career looks, so history is on his side to register an Over at 15.5 points. 

He won't be devoid of scoring chances with Barnes and Leonard sidelined, so it's now or never for the $175-million man to step up in their stead and bounce back against a division rival. 

76ers player prop: Tyrese Maxey Over 23.5 points

Play up to 60%.

This will be the third time this season Tyrese Maxey takes the hardwood without King James in the lineup. In the two prior occasions, the 26-year-old point guard averaged 32 points while shooting 44% from 3-point range. 

Maxey is notorious amongst Raptors supporters for the way he's dismantled their team in the past. Across 17 career meetings, the two-time All-Star has dropped 30 or more points eight times, and gone Over Thursday's prop of 23.5 points in six of the last seven.

Toronto's only real hope is a cold night shooting the rock, which is easier said than done, considering he's shot better than 44% from the field in all but three games.
