Slowing Down the Big Man
Joel Embiid was a force in Game 2 against the Raptors scoring 31 points along with 11 rebounds. In the first quarter, Embiid scored 19 points (4-6 FG, and 11-12 FT) inserting his dominance and showing the world why he should be MVP. Toronto’s best bet is to try to get the Big Man in foul trouble by giving him a dose of his own medicine because that seems to be the only way they can stop him.
Prop to Watch
- Tobias Harris Over 15.5 Points (-105)
Tobias Harris has scored over 20 points in both Game 1 and Game 2 vs Toronto. During the regular season, Harris averaged 16.9 points on the road.
Locking Up the Raptors
Tonight will be the first game in this series the 76ers will go without their top wing defender Matisse Thybulle due to covid restrictions. They will need to lock all windows and doors on defense to ensure the victory over the Raptors. Tobias Harris will need to continue his excellent defense on Pascal Siakam, making it difficult for him to score and take over the game. Danny Green will need to turn back the clock for this series to make up for the absence of Thybulle while hitting corner threes.
Doc owning the Nurse
Doc Rivers has been quietly putting on a coaching clinic this series out coaching Nick Nurse. The Sixers have looked like a completely different team as compared to the regular season with their improved transition offense and energy on the offensive glass. Rivers has been outstanding with his rotations having a perfect balance with minutes. With the Sixers leading the series 2-0, this is familiar territory for Doc Rivers; the question is will Rivers be able to close out the series with the lead?
