The Philadelphia 76ers will take on the Toronto Raptors at the Scotiabank in Toronto in the NBA on Friday (October 28).
The Raptors were victorious in their last outing against the 76ers as the two teams squared off in a back-to-back series. Gary Trent Jr. led the Raptors in scoring with a season-high 27 points as the Raptors won with ease 119-109. Tyrese Maxey provided the 76ers a lift, scoring 31, but that was not enough. Can the 76ers turn around their losing ways?
The betting odds and predictions are below:
Gary Trent Jr. led the Raptors in scoring last time, but Pascal Siakam has paced Toronto in scoring on the season, averaging a robust 25 points per game. The Raptors have a balanced attack. Seven Raptors average double digits in scoring, and you never know who will step up on any given night. Keep an eye on Fred VanVleet, who leads the Raptors in Assists, Steals, and Blocks.
The 76ers, meanwhile, are playing more top-heavy basketball, as three players --Joel Embiid, James Harden, and Tyrese Maxey average over 20 points per game. The 76ers need to get Tobias Harris going, as the swingman is averaging only 12 points per contest.

Toronto Raptors vs Philadelphia 76ers Best Pick
Tyrese Maxey ignited a spark in the 76ers offense last time out, and he is capable of doing that again.
Maxey is one of the more underrated scorers in the NBA. With the Toronto defense focused on limiting Joel Embiid in the interior and James Harden on the perimeter, Tyrese Maxey should once again find plenty of scoring opportunities.
Tyrese Maxey; Points: Over 18.5

Toronto Raptors vs Philadelphia 76ers Final Prediction
The Toronto Raptors are a better, more well-rounded team this season. The Raptors can beat you inside; they can beat you outside, and they play hard-nosed defense.
The 76ers have not always been mentally tough and tend to fold when pushed physically. Philadelphia is one of the more talented teams in the NBA, and you have to figure that they will figure things out at some point. Expect the 76ers to show a sense of urgency here. Philadelphia should exact revenge and win this game.
Philadelphia 76ers +1.5 (-110) (O/U 213.5, -110)
