Philadelphia at Toronto When: 8:00 PM ET, Wednesday, April 20, 2022
Where: Scotiabank Arena, Toronto, Ontario

Trailing 2-0 in their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series, the Toronto Raptors must limit Joel Embiid and get healthier in Game 3 Wednesday night against the visiting Philadelphia 76ers.

The 76ers dominated the first two contests, winning Game 1 by 20 points and Game 2 by 15. Star center Joel Embiid has proven himself to be a nearly unstoppable force, dropping a combined 50 points and 26 rebounds over two games. However, the Raptors should get a boost by returning to their home floor. Toronto is too good of a team to be swept, so a change if fortune is certainly possible here.

Prediction: Toronto returns home for game three but this team isn’t healthy and like Shaq O’Oneil said prior to the series ” The 76ers will sweep Toronto”.
This game goes down to the wire and Phildelphia should have what it takes to cover the slimest of numbers here.

The Raptors enjoyed a better season than expected, but they’re not healthy and are running out of gas.

Final Philadelphia 76ers: -1.5
