TOR vs PHI Dream11: The First Round series count is decreasing with each day. We have seen the Celtics, Heat, Bucks, and Warriors qualify for next round while the Suns, Grizzlies, and the Mavericks are one win away from qualifying. There is one other team that is just a game away from making it to the next round and that is the Philadelphia 76ers, they will visit the Toronto Raptors in the last game.
The Raptors won the last game 103:88 as Pascal Siakam drilled 23 points and the balanced scoring of the team also helped the matters. The Raptors have won two in a row and although no team has ever come back from a three-nil deficit, they have made this series interesting through some terrific defense. Can they break the record of a team never winning down nil-three as they will need two more games?
Host: Toronto Raptors
Visitors: Philadelphia 76ers
Match Timing: 29 April, @ 04:30 AM (+05:30 UTC)
Venue: Scotiabank Arena
NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis
Raptors come back strongly
The Raptors would be ruing the Overtime loss in Game 3 which would have tilted the series in their favor but they have done a great job of shutting down the 76ers in two games straight. They held the 76ers to below 40% shooting while also only allowing 27% from beyond the arc while forcing 15 turnovers and only committing 8 themselves.
Joel Embiid’s injured hand seems to be bothering him, but all in all, the Raptors have kept him in 19-21 points range in three of the five games. The Raps have also not allowed James Harden to settle while Maxey’s initial touch has disappeared. The lack of depth also makes matters complicated for the 76ers but credit should be given to the disciplined Raptors.
It is clear that the Raptors need Pascal Siakam to dominate both ends of the floor for them to have a strong chance of winning and with Fred Van Vleet out of the fray, Gary Trent and OG Anunoby have more responsibilities. Meanwhile, Precious Achiuwa surely has been a huge difference-maker off the bench while getting back Scottie Barnes has improved them in various ways as well.

*Game 5 stats*
Pascal Siakam(TOR)
Points: 23
Rebounds: 10
Assists: 07
Siakam continues to display his wizardry and carries the major hopes for the Raptors on both ends of the floor. Siakam has scored 20 or more in four of the last five games and I expect a 24-29 points, 5-10 rebounds, and 4-7 assists range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 35-50
Joel Embiid(PHI)
Points: 20
Rebounds: 11
Assists: 04
Big Embiid has been bothered by an injured hand but he has had a substantial impact as a scorer, rebounder, and defender. I expect a 21-27 points, 10-15 rebounds, and 1-2 blocks/steals range. He is usually the favorite for Star/Pro Player in the Dream 11 NBA Fantasy scenario.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 35-50
James Harden(PHI)
Points: 15
Rebounds: 02
Assists: 07
Steals: 01
Blocks: 01
Harden has shot below 40% in four of the five games but he has done a great job as a playmaker. I believe he will be in 14-22 points, 7-10 assists, and 1-2 steals/blocks range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 28-40
OG Anunoby(TOR)
Points: 16
Rebounds: 05
Assists: 04
Steals: 02
Wing Anunoby has done a terrific job as a scorer and also brings prominent defense to the forefront. I expect him to pop off this game and be in 17-22 points, 4-6 rebounds/assists range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 27-39
Tobias Harris(PHI)
Points: 16
Rebounds: 07
Assists: 04
Power Forward Tobias has played like a veteran all series long and his work as a hustle player and rebounder has been commendable. I expect a 14-19 points, 7-11 rebounds, and 2-4 assists range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 26-37
Scottie Barnes(TOR)
Points: 12
Rebounds: 08
Assists: 04
Steals: 03
Wing Scottie has gotten it done in his rookie year and he won the Rookie of the Year for his versatile playing style and elite defense. He made 5/10 shots in the last game and I expect a 11-18 points, 6-10 rebounds, 3-5 assists, and 1-3 steals range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 28-40
TOR vs PHI DREAM11 LINEUP BALANCERS
- Tyrese Maxey(PHI) had 12 points, 4 assists, 2 rebounds, 1 steal in the last game. Guard Tyrese has been struggling after a strong start and made just 5/14 in the last game. I expect he will be in 15-23 points and 4-6 assists range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 23-35 - Gary Trent Jr.(TOR) had 16 points, 3 assists, 1 rebound, 2 steals in the last game. Gary hasn’t been efficient but with Fred injured, he will have to be assertive on the offensive end. I expect a 13-21 points range here.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 22-35 - Precious Achiuwa(TOR) had 17 points, 7 rebounds, 3 blocks in the last game. Thanks to Precious, the Raptors are alive in this series and he shot 7/11 in the last game. I expect a 10-17 points, 5-8 rebounds, and 1-3 blocks range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 20-30 - Danny Green(PHI) had 14 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals in the last game. Premier defender Danny has been assertive offensively and has been a sweet surprise in the Playoffs. I expect the veteran to be in 6-12 points range here.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 11-22 - Chris Boucher(TOR) had 6 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks in the last game. Center Boucher has seen reduction in minutes with Achiuwa doing more damage but he gives quality defense. I expect a 5-9 points and 3-6 rebounds range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 11-21 - Khem Birch(TOR) had 7 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 1 block in the last game. Center Khem has been a decent presence but plays limited minutes. I expect a 4-7 points and 1-3 rebounds range.
