Nick Nurse is back! Let's give him his flowers for helping us get our first championship.
The Raptors and 76ers face off for the first time this season. This will be the third game for the Raptors as they come off a grueling loss on the road to the Bulls in overtime. The 76ers are also coming off a loss against the Bucks, but unlike the Raptors have a day of rest coming into this game.
The 76ers will be without James Harden who doesn't like their team president and they in return do not want him to travel with the team. The Raptors may be without OG who was suffering with muscle spasms. He is considered questionable.
Three keys to victory:
1) Stop Tyrese Maxey.
2) Make Joel Embiid work on defense to tire him out. His new coach may play him 48 minutes.
3) Bench Malachi Flynn
Let's go Raptors!
