The Philadelphia 76ers<\/strong> host the Toronto Raptors<\/strong> at the Wells Fargo Center in Pennsylvania on Friday night. The 76ers are coming off a stinging loss to the New York Knicks, while the Raptors look to break a slump before their season comes off the tracks.<\/p>\n Toronto Raptors<\/a> (27-15) at Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> (8-34)<\/strong> Click here to view…\u00a0NBA ATS Stats<\/a>\u00a0&\u00a0Expert NBA Betting Insight!<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The Raptors will be wrapping up a three-game road trip on Friday night. The team has dropped eight of its last 11 games, the latest a 92-86 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63742&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n That 86-point performance is a season-worst for Toronto, as the team also reached season lows in field goal percentage, knocking down only 31.8 percent of their shots from the field, and 3-point field goal percentage, connecting on only 17.9 percent of their shots from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n The Raptors hope to turn things around against a 76ers team that they\u2019ve beaten six times in a row, including wins in the last two meetings by an average margin of 24 points.<\/p>\n The 76ers come into this game having lost five of their last six games. Their last game was one of their more disappointing efforts in a while, as they fell to the New York Knicks by a score of 98-91.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63727&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n They now sit 19 games behind these very Raptors for the top spot in the Atlantic Division. They put their league-worst home record on the line tonight, sitting at 3-17 at the Wells Fargo Center.<\/p>\n The team\u2019s loss to the Knicks certainly can\u2019t be pinned on point guard Michael Carter-Williams, who put up a very impressive stat line against New York, recording 27 points, seven assists, six rebounds, and five steals in that contest.<\/p>\n The Raptors have won the last two meetings between these teams by comfortable margins, but divisional matchups inside the Atlantic have been close in recent years, so expecting a Toronto team that\u2019s in bad form to build a significant margin against a 76ers team that\u2019s playing some of its best basketball of the year is a fool\u2019s errand.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63741&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n Additionally, the Raptors\u2019 defense is light years ahead of its offense, while the 76ers are sneaky good defensively themselves. The 76ers also haven\u2019t reached the 100-point mark in 19 straight games.<\/p>\n\n
