Toronto Raptors vs. Philadelphia 76ers Prediction: Injury Report, Starting 5s, Betting Odds & Spreads - December 19

The Toronto Raptors (13-17) are coming into tonight's game on a five-game losing skid. Their most recent defeat came against the Golden State Warriors at 126-110. Their opponents tonight, the Philadelphia 76ers (16-12), are in a much better position right now with a four-game winning streak. Their most recent game saw them defeat the Warriors 118-106.

It's been a hit-and-miss season for the Raptors thus far. Until their recent skid, they'd been inconsistent on all fronts, often yo-yoing performance quality. The 76ers, meanwhile, had a rough three-game skid to start the season. Since then, they've gradually found their groove but their offense remains mediorce for the most part, bar center Joel Embiid's impressive showings of late.

Raptors vs. 76ers Prediction

The Raptors and the 76ers have had a similar mode of play this season with both teams being fairly strong on defense whilst being light on offense. The Raptors have, however, revealed a weakness when it comes to defending regular shots of late.

The 76ers, meanwhile, have improved their offense of late with Embiid leading the charge. Given their recent offensive improvements, coupled with their relatively equal defense to the Raptors, the 76ers continuing their winning ways seems very likely tonight.
