The Toronto Raptors and Philadelphia 76ers begin their season series on Saturday night, with the former looking for a fifth straight win.
The latest: Toronto followed up its four-game losing streak with a four-game winning streak, but is still a 5-point road underdog in Philadelphia. The Sixers are getting superb play out of Tyrese Maxey, who is leading the league in scoring while Joel Embiid is on a minutes restriction.
Check out these Raptors vs. 76ers prop picks for the game on Nov. 8, featuring VJ Edgecombe and RJ Barrett.

Raptors vs. 76ers prop picks
Best bet: Edgecombe under 20.5 points and rebounds (-107)
Edgecombe is living up to the hype as the No. 3 overall pick.
The Baylor Bears product is averaging 17.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.8 assists so far — well above this number. But I think he's worth fading tonight for a few reasons.
- Opportunity: Edgecombe averaged 40.2 minutes per game in October with Jared McCain sidelined. The guard returned on Tuesday and should eat into his playing time. Joel Embiid also logged season-highs in minutes (26) and FGA (21) his last time out.
- Form: The rookie averaged 21.2 PPG on 49.4% shooting in October (4-1 vs. this line) and is averaging 11.7 PPG on 34.2% shooting in November (1-2 vs. this line).
- Opponent: Toronto allows the second-fewest PPG to opposing shooting guards, per Fantasy Pros.

Edgecombe should still get a solid amount of run, but I expect Nick Nurse to pull his minutes back in favour of McCain, who was a rookie of the year candidate last season before getting injured.
Expect a quiet night out of the top pick in a tough matchup.
Key stat: Edgecombe is just 7-for-26 from the floor in his last two games (26.9%).

RJ Barrett prop bet
Barrett 20+ points (-120): There are a lot of mouths to feed on Toronto's offence, but Barrett has been consistent across the board.
- 12+ FGA in eight of nine games
- 50.0% or better shooting in seven of nine games
- 20+ PPG in six of nine games (19 points in one of the outliers)
The third-year Raptor is going to get his shots up, and right now, they're falling.
Barrett has done a ton of damage at the rim (37% of shots) and in the short mid-range (28% of shots), areas Philadelphia struggles to defend.
The Sixers have the fifth-worst rim defence (72.5%) in the NBA, per Cleaning the Glass.
