Toronto Has to Finish the Possessions It Starts Well
The Raptors are 5-6 and 3-3 on the road after losing 98-93 to Boston at home. Toronto led by as many as 22 and still had a three-point lead inside the final minute. The loss was less about getting a good start than finding a dependable shot once Boston took away the early options.
Toronto averaged 116.6 points and allowed 113.3 before Wednesday. The Raptors can ease the burden on their guards if they get the ball inside early and make Philadelphia help from the wing. Empty trips followed by quick Philadelphia baskets would make the second night of the back-to-back more difficult.
Jamal Shead had 16 assists in Friday’s win at Milwaukee, while RJ Barrett scored 27. That’s the kind of shared creation Toronto needs against Philadelphia. Scottie Barnes and Kawhi Leonard were listed out in the early matchup snapshot; check whether either status changes before tipoff.
Philadelphia Has the Better Setup for a Close Fourth Quarter
The 76ers are 9-3 and 4-2 at home after Tuesday’s 123-101 loss to Boston. They had scored 127 at Chicago on Sunday. The difference is a reminder that Philadelphia still needs to create an advantage early in the possession against a defense that can get set.
Philadelphia averages 110.2 points and allows 109.2. It can improve on Tuesday’s result by making Toronto defend an early screen and then attacking the next rotation. A steady half-court game also makes it harder for the Raptors to use quick points to compensate for the short turnaround.
Tyrese Maxey scored 24 against Boston, and Jaylen Brown had 29 at Chicago. Maxey can put pressure on the first defender, while Brown gives Philadelphia a second option when the first drive draws help. That’s the biggest offensive difference I see in this matchup.

Toronto Raptors vs Philadelphia 76ers Picks and Prediction
Side Pick: Philadelphia to Win
I like Philadelphia outright. Toronto has a way to stay close if Poeltl extends possessions and Barrett gets downhill, but I’d rather have Maxey and Brown creating late against a team that played the night before. No official spread pick.
Total Pick: Pending
I project Philadelphia 112, Toronto 105. The scoring could go higher if Toronto wins the offensive glass, but the Raptors’ late offense on Wednesday gives me a reason to be cautious. I’ll wait for a verified total.
Final Picks: Philadelphia to win. Spread and total pending.
Prepared November 11, 2026. Lines and player availability can change before tipoff.
