"After their overtime thriller last night, the Toronto Raptors and Philadelphia 76ers will be changing venues and going at it again tonight. Both Toronto and Philadelphia are expecting some reinforcements to arrive in the form of injured star players hopefully being activated for tonight's game. On Toronto's side they are hoping to get Brandon Ingram and RJ Barett back, and on Philadelphia's side they are looking for Joel Embiid and Paul George to suit up tonight."
"Scottie Barnes led Toronto's offense wonderfully last night, dropping a team-high 31 points and 8 assists and he did so by imposing his will in the paint and finishing strong. Time after time Barnes would attack the im off the dribble, sliding past a defender he had on his hip, or simply muscling them out of the way, and this method proved effective throughout the night"
Toronto and Philadelphia meet in a back-to-back rematch after an overtime game, with both teams expecting injured stars to be activated tonight. Toronto hopes to have Brandon Ingram and RJ Barrett available, and Philadelphia is considering Joel Embiid and Paul George. The Raptors are 24-16 with a 113.9 offensive rating (19th) and 112.1 defensive rating (6th). Scottie Barnes scored 31 points and 8 assists, attacking the paint aggressively. Bench players Jamal Shead and Collin Murray-Boyles delivered key performances, and Alijah Martin has earned rotation consideration. Embiid's presence could alter interior matchups and Barnes' scoring opportunities.
