Thursday, Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, 8pm, Series Tied 1-1

After two contrasting clashes between the Toronto Raptors and the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA Eastern Conference semi finals, Game Three promises more drama.

The Raptors came out in Game One and looked unstoppable, but the 76ers changed the script for the second clash, beating Toronto by five points in an all-important win away from home.

Jimmy Butler owned the court in Game Two with 30-points and 10 rebounds, making him the best player on the night.

It was a poor shooting display from the Raptor starters, especially the usually-accurate Danny Green, who went 1-8 and struggled mightily from three-point range.

So, how will game three pan out? Can the 76ers continue the form they showed in Game 2, or will Kawhi Leonard and the Raps earn back their home court advantage?

Here is our examination of the best bets we’ve found in this game’s markets.

Toronto Raptors vs Philadelphia 76ers player exotic tips

Danny Green Over 2 Threes @ +150

An NBA veteran like Green will be able to brush aside his poor shooting in Game 2 and play with a point to prove here. Green needs to lead by example to pave the path for younger players in the squad. If Green puts up six threes this week, more than two of them will be successful.

Ben Simmons Over 7.5 Rebounds @ -114.94

If Ben Simmons is not scoring well in the playoffs to date, but can always make up for it with great passes and aggressive rebounding. Jimmy Butler and Tobias Harris’ strong rebounding performance in game 2 could garner them more defensive attention, allowing Simmons to snatch more rebounds.

Pascal Siakam Over 31.5 Pts+Reb+Ast @ -114.94

Pascal Siakam has had an incredible season, which is why he is currently hot favourite to take out the Most Improved Player of the Year award, paying just -1250 in that NBA futures market. Siakam is brilliant to watch for someone of his height, as his skills and class can surprise you. Siakam will put up plenty of shots in this match and redeem himself after his poor performance in Game 2.

Philadelphia 76ers to Win @ -105.26

Home court advantage is crucial in the playoffs and the 76ers will not waste the opportunity they earned in Game 2. Joel Embiid was quiet in Game Two, but Philly still left Toronto with the victory. If Embiid plays well this Thursday, the 76ers will beat the Raptors handidly.
