The Raptors lastly misplaced in opponents territory. The highway to 40-1 continues.
Toronto has not performed good basketball for six quarters heading into Thursday. The same old suspects are largely at fault comparable to suspect half courtroom offence, which has led to poor taking pictures and open courtroom turnovers (though turnovers as an entire has not been an issue). The defence has not been nice both throughout that span.
That being stated, this can be a good alternative for the three sport dropping streak to finish. There’s a behemoth of a schedule coming subsequent week so don’t take this one as a right.
Philly began the season atop the East at 8-2. That’s considerably stunning, contemplating the constant tales in relation to Ben Simmons. The Sixers are essentially the most depleted group within the NBA proper now (if I’m overlooking one other group, please let me know). The total damage report is beneath. Nonetheless, they’ve given the Knicks and the Bucks (Milwaukee can be significantly depleted) an excellent run for his or her cash of their final two losses regardless of solely performed eight guys in each video games. Andre Drummond has had 25 and 20 rebounds beginning for Embiid, which may (will) put up an issue for Toronto’s small entrance courtroom. Tyrese Maxey has needed to play a number one function offensively, taking 43 pictures for 47 factors in these two video games. The Sixers have been main going into the fourth vs Milwaukee, and have been in a one level sport with 5 minutes remaining vs New York.
Clearly the scrappy side is there. That’s to be revered, however let’s be actual. It could be fairly disappointing if the Raps drop beneath .500 towards a group thats lacking 80 p.c of their beginning lineup from final season. I’m somewhat responsible of schedule predicting right here, however an 8-6 document heading into Monday to kick off the six sport highway journey can be ideally suited.
Search for OG Anunoby to set the tone. He’s solely averaging 15 factors within the final two video games, after scoring 20+ within the three earlier than which incorporates his career-high 36 towards the Knicks.
Final however undoubtedly not least: it’s Remembrance Day.

Nick Nurse stated after the Celtics sport that he doesn’t anticipate Pascal Siakam will play. Siakam logged half-hour vs Boston. Khem Birch (knee) is out. Yuta Watanabe (calf) hasn’t performed all season, so don’t anticipate him on this one both. Fairly gentle in entrance courtroom.
