The Philadelphia 76ers and the Toronto Raptors will meet for an Eastern Conference affair. Both teams will look to bounce back from an opening-game loss on Wednesday night.
Philly was blown out at home against the Milwaukee Bucks, losing 124-109. The Sixers played their opener without superstars Paul George and Joel Embiid. Neither Embiid nor George are expected to miss significant time.
When both players are healthy, the 76ers are expected to be among the best teams in the Eastern Conference. The question will be, can they stay healthy and perform at a high level for a full season?
