Toronto Raptors vs Philadelphia 76ers Picks and Prediction for Thursday November 12 2026

Toronto visits Philadelphia on Thursday night for a 7 PM ET game at Xfinity Mobile Arena. Both teams are coming off some difficult competition. The Raptors have Boston on Wednesday, while Philadelphia just got beaten 123-101 by the Celtics on Tuesday. That’s a rough way for the Sixers to come home. Toronto has been scoring more consistently, but Philadelphia has the better record and a stronger defense. I like the Sixers, provided they don’t come out looking as flat as they did against Boston.

Toronto Can Score, but the Schedule Isn’t Helping

Toronto is 5-5 heading into Wednesday’s game against Boston, with a 3-3 road record. The Raptors lost 118-102 to Memphis on Monday, and now they’ve got Boston followed immediately by Philadelphia. That’s a difficult stretch, particularly for a team that’s been trying to get back above .500. Toronto has enough offense to compete, but it needs a better defensive effort than it showed against Memphis.

The Raptors are averaging 116.6 points per game and allowing 113.3. That’s a positive scoring difference, which is encouraging. Toronto can get into the paint and score in transition, but the defense hasn’t been as consistent. Philadelphia has been allowing fewer than 110 points a night. That could make life difficult for Toronto, especially if the Raptors are playing on tired legs after Wednesday.

Scottie Barnes and Kawhi Leonard have been listed unavailable. Those absences take away important scoring, rebounding, and playmaking options. Toronto needs its available guards and forwards to share the offensive workload. The Raptors can’t afford to spend the entire night waiting for somebody to create a difficult shot. Against Philadelphia, moving the ball and getting good looks early in possessions will be important.

Philadelphia Needs to Forget About Boston

Philadelphia is 9-3 after losing 123-101 to Boston on Tuesday. The Sixers are 4-2 at home, and they’ve been one of the better teams in the Eastern Conference despite that ugly loss. Philadelphia also lost 119-95 to Cleveland last Friday, so there have been some rough nights against quality opponents. But the Sixers have been winning enough games that I wouldn’t overreact to one bad performance.

Philadelphia is averaging 110.2 points and allowing 109.2. The offense isn’t particularly explosive, but the defense has been dependable enough to win games. The Sixers need to do a better job finishing possessions with rebounds and avoiding careless turnovers. Toronto has enough scoring to make Philadelphia pay if the defense gets lazy.

Dominick Barlow has been listed out, which affects Philadelphia’s depth. The Sixers need their healthy frontcourt players to control the paint and make Toronto work for second-chance opportunities. Philadelphia also needs more offensive consistency. Scoring 101 against Boston isn’t a disaster by itself, but the Sixers can’t afford to spend another night struggling to get good looks.

Toronto Raptors vs Philadelphia 76ers Picks and Prediction

Moneyline Pick: Philadelphia 76ers

I’m taking Philadelphia. Toronto has the better scoring average, and that gives the Raptors a chance. But the Sixers have been defending better, and Toronto is playing the second night of a back-to-back. That’s a tough spot against a Philadelphia team that should be irritated after losing by 22 to Boston. I expect the Sixers to come out with a little more urgency and get the win at home.

Total Pick: Under — Pending Verified Line

I lean under. Philadelphia has been allowing 109.2 points a game, and Toronto could be dealing with tired legs after facing Boston on Wednesday. The Raptors have been scoring 116.6, so the offense is capable of pushing the total higher. But the Sixers haven’t been an especially high-scoring team themselves. I think Philadelphia tries to slow the pace and make Toronto work in the half court. The number will matter, but the under is where I’d start.

Final Picks: Philadelphia 76ers Moneyline | Under (pending verified total)
