Raptors offense looks to get in playoff rhythm against the Sixers

The Raptors are locked into the second seed in the Eastern Conference with the playoffs looming a week away, and the final two games of the season will serve as a tune up for Toronto. 

The first chance to get playoff ready comes against the lowly Sixers on Tuesday night, which should be a welcome sight for a Raptors offense that has been sputtering a bit lately. Toronto's faced a difficult schedule recently and has cracked 100 points once in the last six games (4-2 record). 

The defense has been strong to allow them to win four games in that span, but a very average 51.1 percent effective field goal percentage leaves something to be desired heading into the playoffs. Philadelphia's defense, ranked 24th in the league, could be the perfect remedy for the Raptors' offensive woes. 

I think Toronto will put the pedal down in this game and easily break through the 100 point mark to pull this total over the number.

The SportsLine Projection Model agrees with this pick with a slight lean on the over. 

Kalland's pick: Over (204.5); SportsLine's lean: Over
