The surging Toronto Raptors travel to the City of Brotherly Love on Thursday to do battle with a young and popular Philadelphia 76ers team. Here is how you can watch online.

The Toronto Raptors are set to visit the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night for what figures to be an intriguing Eastern Conference clash. As of Tuesday, Toronto boasted the third-best record in the conference, while Philadelphia sat less than two games out of the East’s eighth and final playoff spot.

Toronto is currently one of the hottest teams in the NBA, winning nine of their last 10 games leading up to Wednesday night’s matchup against Charlotte. The Raptors have drastically adjusted their style of offensive play this season, and the results of this adjustment are beginning to show. Guard DeMar DeRozan leads the team in scoring at nearly 24 points per game, as he’s seen increased opportunities as a primary ball-handler this season. Toronto is averaging more than 110 points per contest thus far in 2017-18, and head coach Dwane Casey deserves significant credit for that.

Philadelphia is experiencing a bit of a swoon as of late, though the team has still made impressive strides from last season. The Sixers fell in two tight games last week, losing to the Bulls and Thunder by a combined four points. Star center Joel Embiid led the team in scoring against OKC but missed the Chicago game for rest purposes. Embiid and rookie Ben Simmons have quickly made Philadelphia one of the more popular teams in the NBA this season.
