After dispatching the Brooklyn Nets in five games, the Philadelphia 76ers will shift their focus to the Toronto Raptors. The season series went 3-1 in favor of Toronto, with the Raptors winning all three games in which Kawhi Leonard played. It was an emphatically bad matchup for the Sixers.
There’s optimism that the postseason will provide a different storyline, though. With Jimmy Butler and Tobias Harris on board, the Sixers have more star-power in the starting five than any Eastern Conference team. The second unit remains a concern, but the starting five alone should challenge Toronto.
