Tonight's play · Nov 12: Raptors 1H ML: Philly Missing LeBron, Price Is Way Off

The pick: Toronto Raptors 1st half ML (+190) · 1 unit ($100)

Listen up. The 76ers are 9-3 and look like the right side on paper, sure. But LeBron James is OUT tonight, along with Dominick Barlow and Adem Bona. That is three bodies gone from a Philly rotation that is only averaging 110.2 points per game — already the lower-scoring outfit in this matchup. Toronto is putting up 114.5 points per game this season and carries a +2.6 point differential. The Raptors have gone 3-3 on the road and know how to compete away from home.

Now, the honest risk: Toronto is on a back-to-back, and Barnes, Jackson-Davis, and Leonard are all out. Legs may be short in the second half — which is exactly why we are only buying the first half at +190.

Philly's shorthanded offence slow-walking into a first half while Toronto comes out fresh? That number belongs a lot closer to even.

The house sets the line — wise guys find the mistake.
