Pregame AnalysisShort-Handed Raptors Look for Another Surprise Against a Sixers Team Coming Off a Bump
Toronto's depth has already been tested, but Philadelphia's home floor and Toronto's missing scoring should tilt this one.
This page is the pregame analysis. The box score is the main page for the game, and the matchup history collects every meeting between these teams.
Toronto arrives in Philadelphia with the most important question already answered: Scottie Barnes is out with an adductor injury. He leads the Raptors at 23.5 points per game, so the offense has to find its shape without its top scorer. Kawhi Leonard and Nate Bittle are also listed out in Toronto's latest report, while Kyle Anderson and Collin Murray-Boyles are questionable. Immanuel Quickley, who averages 17.4 points and 5.8 assists, is questionable with hamstring tightness after practicing on a limited basis. His status decides whether the backcourt has to be reshuffled again.
The Raptors do have a recent example of how they can cope. Without Quickley against Milwaukee, Jamal Shead moved into the starting lineup and had a career-high 16 assists, and Alijah Martin scored a career-high 27 points. That result shows Toronto can win on nights when role players step forward. Still, it is hard to rely on two career performances repeating, especially with even fewer proven options available.
Philadelphia is coming off a 119-95 NBA Cup loss to Cleveland, only its second defeat of the season, after an earlier-week 126-107 win over Chicago. The Sixers also have their own thin spots, with Adem Bona, Dominick Barlow and Ariel Hukporti (out for the season with an Achilles injury) all unavailable. Their veteran-heavy group can be pressured in transition, as Chicago's 25 fastbreak points showed. If Shead and Martin keep the pace high and attack off the dribble, Toronto can stay close.
The prediction: Toronto's backups make this competitive, but missing Barnes and likely Leonard leaves too little shot creation over four quarters. Philadelphia, motivated after the Cleveland loss and at home, should do enough to get the win.
