Philadelphia 76ers -8.5 over Toronto Raptors (-110)'
The Raptors head to Philadelphia to take on former head coach Nick Nurse and the 76ers, who beat them 114-107 just a few days ago. Nurse obviously knows this opponent extremely well and his new team had little trouble taking care of business in the previous matchup. An interesting factor to consider is that Philly has not played since last Sunday. Toronto has played twice since then and is on the second leg of a back-to-back situation after beating Milwaukee on Wednesday. Needless to say, fatigue could be an issue for the visitors whereas the Sixers are extremely well rested. The Raptors went just 4-8 SU in the second leg of B2Bs last season. Moreover, Philadelphia has won 5 of the last 6 head-to-head meetings. With the James Harden distraction now out of the way, the 76ers should be feeling good about things. They have every reason to handle the Raptors in this one.'
Detroit Pistons ML over New Orleans Pelicans (+240)'
This is obviously the longshot play of the parlay, but there is no reason why it can't happen. Both teams are in the midst of back-to-backs, which generally levels the playing field and creates an anything-can-happen kind of situation. Brandon Ingram missed the Pelicans' win over the Thunder and his status is uncertain for Thursday. If anything, it sounds like he is trending in the wrong direc tion. Despite Wednesday's victory, keep in mind that this is a team that lost to Golden State by 28 on Monday. As for the Pistons, they didn't look great yesterday during a loss to Portland but Cade Cunningham scored 30 points. Six different guys contributed double-figures. If Detroit can showcase similar depth on Thursday, this becomes a very winnable game.'
