Pick your poison: A team coming off a bad loss on a back-to-back, or a team with a great record and a lot of missing pieces?

The Raptors and 76ers will renew the rivalry on Thursday night in Philly -- I don’t think I need to remind any Sixers fans of the more painful points along the way here -- bounce, bounce, bounce.

The Raps come into this one with a .500 record, straight off a flight from Boston, where they dropped an uninspiring loss to the Celtics.

On paper it sure looks like a tough spot to take on the 8-4 76ers, but Philly will be without Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons of course, Matisse Thybulle, as well as Seth Curry and Tobias Harris listed as questionable.

It certainly won’t be easy and this one could turn into a bit of a rock fight, we’re going to back the Raptors to cover +3.0 on the road, and put your faith in the defence, under 210 points
