Furthermore, the Raptors are on a five-game skid. They are also 1-9 in their last 10 road games. “This is a terrible stretch,” Fred VanVleet said after the loss. “You don’t want this, you don’t expect this, and you can’t accept this.”

Meanwhile, the 76ers are on a four-game win streak. The season series is tied at one game apiece. Philadelphia is 7-2 in its past nine games played this month.
