Philadelphia continues to settle at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings after losing four of their last six matches.
The team dropped a 112-108 game to reigning champions Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday at their home court of Wells Fargo Center for their third consecutive loss, as per the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Joel Embiid led the Sixers with 22 points, nine rebounds, four assists, and three blocked shots in only 25 minutes of playing time.

Backup center Jahlil Okafor led the bench with 14 points and nine boards while Nik Stauskas and Dario Saric contributed 11 and 10 points also as part of the second unit.
Embiid will reportedly miss this game against Toronto as part of his workload management after spending his first two seasons in the NBA rehabbing a foot injury. He is also still currently on a 24-minute per game restriction.
Meanwhile, the Raptors have won two straight games after suffering two consecutive setbacks and are currently at second place behind the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference standings.
Toronto defeated the Milwaukee Bucks, 105-99, on the road at the BMO Harris Bradley Center last Friday, ESPN reported.

Off the bench, power forward Patrick Patterson chipped in 11 points, five rebounds, and three assists.
Prediction
Toronto has been unstable at home with a 4-3 record so far this season. Philadelphia is one of the worst teams on the road with a 0-5 slate. A blowout win by the Raptors is predicted.
