The Toronto Raptors had their five-game win streak snapped on Friday, which was a bummer — but hey, that only means they have the opportunity now to start a new one.
Tonight’s opponent — the Philadelphia 76ers — won’t make it easy, however. Their 43-26 record is good for second in the East, Joel Embiid is playing like an MVP, and former MVP James Harden is fitting in nicely.
Making things tougher the Raptors tonight is that they’ll be without their All-Star point guard, Fred VanVleet, who's sitting out to rest his sore knee.
