Raptors on a Back-to-Back
*Published before Friday’s results*
Toronto is in action Friday against the Atlanta Hawks and will be on the second leg of a back-to-back for this contest. Two days ago, they got back to the 500 mark with a 128-100 blowout win against the Milwaukee Bucks.
- Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett each scored 23 points, Immanuel Quickley and Sandro Mamukelashvili both had 15. Gradey Dick scored 14 points, and Brandon Ingram had 13.
- Toronto posted its biggest margin of victory of the season, surpassing a 20-point win at Atlanta on Oct. 22.
- The Raptors also got a boost from the return of Jakob Poeltl, who missed three games with a sore lower back. He had eight points and nine rebounds in his return against Milwaukee. "I think I'm still a little bit away from 100%," said Poeltl, who had 14 points and six rebounds against Atlanta in the opener. "There were a couple of phases where it stiffened up a little bit. I'm definitely going to have to put in a bunch of work behind the scenes. Hopefully I'll get to the point where it won't affect me during games."
They have won three in a row after losing four straight.

- Kelly Oubre Jr.'s 3-pointer tied it at 72 with under 10 minutes remaining in the third quarter before the Cavaliers regained control, scoring 13 straight points.
- Joel Embiid did not play on Wednesday as Philadelphia is not having him play on consecutive nights early in the season due to left knee issues.
- Grimes scored 14 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter. Grimes has scored 20-plus points in four of eight regular-season games and has opened the 2025-26 campaign averaging 18.3 points, 4.8 assists, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.1 steals over 31.6 minutes per game while connecting on 38.5 percent of his three-point attempts on 6.5 3PA/G.
- Philadelphia has another back-to-back this weekend, so Embiid will sit for one of these games. He is expected to play in this game against the Raptors. If he does not play, Adem Bona should fill in as the starter, with Andre Drummond taking on extra minutes off the bench.
- Veteran forward Paul George (knee) is out this weekend , but should return shortly.
Toronto Raptors vs. Philadelphia 76ers Game Pick
Spread Pick for Raptors vs. Sixers
- Toronto Raptors ML (5 units)
After dropping their first game of the season against the Atlanta Hawks, Toronto has strung together three straight wins. They got their starting center, Jakob Poeltl, back last game, and he will play a key defensive role against Joel Embiid here. Toronto is fourth in shooting percentage and seventh in fast break defense. Tyrese Maxey loves to get out and run, especially when Embiid sits, and Toronto’s transition defense will play a role here. Take the Raptors.
OVER/UNDER PICK for Raptors vs. 76ers
- OVER (4 units)
Toronto is playing faster this season, and they come into the second leg of this back-to-back ninth in pace of play. Brandon Ingram has been injury-prone throughout his career, so there is a good chance he sits in this game. The Raptors are seventh in offensive rating, and they have plenty of bodies to compensate if Ingram does not suit up. They are fifth in effective field goal percentage, with Gradey Dick providing a boost with threes off the bench. I like the over in this game.
