The set-up: I'm expecting an all out brawl until the end in this one. However, I expect much more of a "chess match," than a wide open run and gun "shootout" between these two heated rivals. These teams have both been playing to some higher-scoring affairs of late, but in two games this year, each contests total combined points would have fallen well below tonight's posted number. Both have won on their home floor, with Toronto prevailing 101-96 in November and Philadelphia responding with a 110-104 win in December. Both enter on four game SU win streaks as well.

The pick: The "under" is 5-1 the last six in this series North of the border. Toronto has the league's second best defense and neither side likes to play at a very fast pace. Considering all of the above situational and trend based factors listed above, I do indeed feel that this O/U line is high.

10* TOTAL ELITE OF THE ELITE on the UNDER 76ers/Raptors.
