The Toronto Raptors enter this matchup at 4–4, a balanced start that reflects both their growth and inconsistency under coach Darko Rajaković. After opening the season 3–1, Toronto dropped three straight before bouncing back with a hard-fought victory in their most recent outing.
Their defense remains the foundation of their play — Toronto has held opponents under 105 points in five of their first eight games. Led by Pascal Siakam, Scottie Barnes, and OG Anunoby, the Raptors use length and pressure to disrupt offensive rhythm.
Siakam is averaging around 24 points per game, serving as the offensive focal point, while Barnes has impressed with his all-around play — nearly posting a triple-double average of 18 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists. His defensive versatility will be critical in containing Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris.
Home court advantage at Scotiabank Arena could be decisive, as the Raptors aim to move above .500 against a top-tier opponent.

The Philadelphia 76ers have started the season at 5–3, showing steady improvement under new head coach Nick Nurse — who returns to Toronto for the first time since his departure. Philadelphia’s defense remains elite, ranking among the league’s best in points allowed, while their offense continues to evolve in the post-Harden era.
In their last game, the Sixers earned a gritty 107–105 overtime win over Charlotte, showcasing both resilience and developing chemistry. Joel Embiid continues to dominate on both ends of the floor, averaging about 30 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 blocks per game. He remains the league’s most unstoppable interior force.
Tyrese Maxey has flourished in his expanded role, averaging 22 points and 6 assists, using his quickness to create tempo and attack defenses. Tobias Harris and Kelly Oubre Jr. provide valuable offensive balance with consistent scoring and spacing.
Philadelphia will look to extend their winning streak to three games and continue their push toward the top of the Eastern Conference standings.
MatchPlug Prediction for Philadelphia 76ers vs Toronto Raptors
This matchup sets up as a classic Eastern Conference battle defined by defense, rebounding, and physical play. The Raptors will likely double-team Embiid, forcing the Sixers to move the ball and rely on perimeter shooting. Toronto’s length and hustle could frustrate Philadelphia early, but the Sixers’ superior star power and late-game execution should ultimately prove decisive.
Both teams play with defensive intensity, yet their recent matchups have trended toward higher scoring due to transition opportunities and late-game surges.
