The Philadelphia 76ers will look to snap their six-game losing streak as they welcome the Toronto Raptors to Wells Fargo Center Sunday night, but they'll face an uphill battle with their depleted roster missing key stars Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey.
Toronto enters as the NBA's second-best team against the spread (45-28-1) and brings momentum from three straight wins, including a perfect 3-0 record against Philadelphia this season where they've dominated both sides of the ball.
With Quentin Grimes emerging as Philly's lone bright spot amid their defensive collapse, and Scottie Barnes powering Toronto's balanced attack, this matchup presents a compelling contrast between the surging Raptors and the free-falling home team vs away team.

Philadelphia 76ers vs. Toronto Raptors preview
The struggling Philadelphia 76ers host the Toronto Raptors this Sunday in what's shaping up to be a lopsided affair, with Philly riding a miserable six-game losing streak while Toronto has surprisingly won three straight.
Despite both teams being well out of playoff contention, the Raptors have shown remarkable resilience lately, playing the spoiler role with wins in nine of their last 14 games and boasting the second-best against-the-spread record in the NBA at 45-28-1.
The decimated Sixers, missing practically their entire starting lineup including Embiid, Maxey, and George, have essentially thrown in the towel with losses in 22 of their last 25 games, making them the worst team against the spread this season at a dismal 25-46-2.
Quentin Grimes has been a rare bright spot for Philly, averaging 22.1 points since joining from Dallas, while recently putting up 22 points against Washington.
The Raptors have thoroughly dominated this matchup this season, going 3-0 both straight-up and against the spread, including a convincing 13-point victory just a couple weeks ago.
Toronto's defense has been particularly impressive lately, ranking third in defensive rating over their past seven games, while Philadelphia sits dead last in the same category.
There's a stark contrast in how these teams are approaching the final stretch - Toronto continues competing hard despite having nothing to play for, while the Sixers seem to be counting down the days until this forgettable season mercifully ends.
RJ Barrett (21.4 PPG) and Scottie Barnes (19.6 PPG, 7.8 RPG) will look to lead the Raptors to another victory at Wells Fargo Center where the home team simply can't catch a break.
