Toronto Raptors vs. Philadelphia 76ers preview
Two struggling Atlantic Division rivals face off at Scotiabank Arena as the shorthanded Raptors host an equally depleted 76ers squad in what could be a surprisingly entertaining contest.
The Sixers enter this matchup in the midst of a brutal stretch, having dropped 13 of their last 15 games, with their most recent setback coming in a high-scoring affair against Atlanta where they allowed 76 points in the paint.
Toronto comes in with some momentum after winning four of their last five, including an impressive showing against Washington where AJ Lawson exploded for 32 points and 12 rebounds off the bench.
Both teams will be missing key personnel - Philadelphia will be without stars Tyrese Maxey and Paul George, while Toronto won't have the services of RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley, opening the door for role players to step up.
Keep an eye on Quentin Grimes, who's coming off a career-best 35-point performance for the Sixers, while Toronto's bench depth could prove crucial with Lawson looking to build on his recent breakout game.
The Raptors have dominated this matchup on their home court historically, winning 13 of their last 15 against Philadelphia teams with losing records at Scotiabank Arena.
Despite both teams sitting near the bottom of the Eastern Conference, their contrasting styles - Philadelphia's perimeter-oriented attack versus Toronto's paint-focused approach - should make for an intriguing tactical battle.
With both squads ranking in the bottom ten in defensive rating, expect an up-tempo affair where depth and resilience could prove decisive factors.
