Philadelphia 76ers vs Toronto Raptors NBA Preview
Tonight, the 76ers and Raptors will conclude their season series on the second night of a back-to-back. Last night, the Raptors took a 2-1 lead in the season series with a 116-115 overtime victory.
It was a back-and-forth game as the Sixers used a 36-18 third quarter advantage to rally from a 10-point deficit. However, the Raptors battled back to force overtime and won on a Scottie Barnes free throw with 0.8 seconds left.
Barnes led the way for the Raptors with 31 points, seven rebounds, and eight assists.
Meanwhile, rookie Collin Murphy-Boyles added 17 points and 15 rebounds in a season-high 42 minutes. They were needed to step up as the team was without Brandon Ingram, RJ Barrett, and Jakob Poeltl.
Meanwhile, Philadelphia was without Joel Embiid and Paul George. Neither team has submitted an injury report following last night's game.
However, Embiid figures to return on the second night of the back-to-back and it sounds like Ingram is the most likely candidate to return for Toronto tonight. They will be looking forward to Barrett's return as they are 16-6 with him in the lineup.
Philadelphia will look to salvage a split in the season series tonight and gain ground in the standings. If the season ended today, this would be a 4-5 matchup in the first round.
However, last night's victory gave the Raptors a 1.5 game lead for homecourt advantage in that potential series.
