Sixers host Raptors to kick off back-to-back
The Philadelphia 76ers are coming off a narrow 110–108 win over the LA Clippers. There isn’t much time to take it in, though, as they head into yet another back-to-back. They’ll host the Toronto Raptors for the final time this season before traveling to Milwaukee to face the Bucks tomorrow.
