Through 1 Quarter
We’ve seen some fireworks one quarter in as the Philadelphia 76ers and the Toronto Raptors have combined for 70 points. Philadelphia and Toronto are all tied up at 35.
Center Joel Embiid has for the Sixers, currently boasting 19 points (54% of their total) in addition to three boards. A double-double would be Embiid’s 13th in a row. One thing to keep an eye out for is Georges Niang’s foul situation as he currently sits at three.
The Raptors have been led by point guard Fred VanVleet, who so far has 15 points and three assists along with two steals.

What to Know
The Philadelphia 76ers will play host again and welcome the Toronto Raptors to Wells Fargo Center, where tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET Monday. Philadelphia should still be riding high after a big win, while Toronto will be looking to get back in the win column.
The Raptors are out to make up for these teams’ matchup this past Saturday. Philadelphia took their contest against Toronto by a conclusive 131-111 score. The game was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point Philadelphia had established a 107-88 advantage. They can attribute much of their success to point guard Tyrese Maxey, who shot 5-for-8 from downtown and finished with 38 points.
The 76ers are the favorite in this one, with an expected 7.5-point margin of victory. They are currently two-for-two against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.
Philadelphia’s victory brought them up to 1-0 while the Raptors’ loss pulled them down to a reciprocal 0-1. A pair of stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Philadelphia enters the game with only 6.6 steals given up per game on average, which is the best in the league. But Toronto ranks second in the league when it comes to steals per game, with 8.99 on average. Ball control might end up being a major factor in this one.
