The Philadelphia 76ers will welcome the Toronto Raptors for an NBA 2025-26 regular-season matchup on Saturday, November 8, at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. The hosts, who started off the season on a powerful four-game winning streak, lost the last two of their back-to-back fixtures. In their most recent game, the Cleveland Cavaliers handed the Philadelphia 76ers a 132-121 defeat, despite Quentin Grimes and Tyrese Maxey’s combined 54-point effort.

The Toronto Raptors, on the other hand, kicked off the season with a notable win over the Atlanta Hawks. However, they struggled to continue their momentum and suffered four back-to-back defeats before taking down the Cleveland Cavaliers in their first NBA Cup game. Since then, they have been winning all their games. Currently, the Raptors are 5-4 in the season, grabbing the eighth spot in the standings. In their most recent game, the Raptors were up against the Hawks in the re-match of their season opener. They continued their dominance over the Hawks and handed them a 109-97 defeat.

Considering how they have been struggling on court in their most recent games, the Spurs would aim to avoid a 3-0 hole and get back in the winning momentum at home in a weekend clash. That said, let’s get into the injury reports and predicted starting lineups for both the teams for their regular season contest on Saturday.
