Toronto Raptors Analysis
The Raptors are coming into this game with a 6-5 record overall and they are 4-0 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. Their last win came against the Washington Wizards and they have gone on a 2 game losing streak since then with losses against the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Brooklyn Nets in their last game.

In their loss to the Nets, Fred VanVleet led the team in points in that game with 21 while OG Anunoby was next on the team with 16 points. VanVleet also led the team in assists in that game with 8 while Anunoby and Precious Achiuwa off the bench both led the team in rebounds with 8 each. Their shooting was not good in that game as they were 47.1% from the field, 23.3% with their 3-pointers, and 77.8% from the free throw line.

Raptors vs 76ers Prediction
The 76ers are coming into this game as a 2 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The 76ers are without some key players for this game but they have been holding up well without them and will be playing this game on their home court. This is a bad spot for the Raptors as they were in Boston playing a game the night before and now have to go to Philadelphia for back-to-back games, both against division opponents. The best bet to place in this game is on the 76ers to cover the spread as they will take advantage of the Raptors in this spot on their own court.
Raptors 76ers Prediction: Our NBA Pick for Thursday, November 11, 2021 (7:00 pm ET start time) is 76ers 104 Raptors 97.
