Philadelphia 76ers vs Toronto Raptors Picks and Predictions – January 11, 2026
The Philadelphia 76ers head north of the border to face the Toronto Raptors at Scotiabank Arena on Sunday night, with tipoff set for 7:00 PM ET. The Sixers (26-13) are firmly in the East’s top tier, riding a 7-3 stretch over their last 10. Toronto (15-25) continues to tread water in the lower half of the conference but has played better since the new year.
Philly enters as a 4-point road favorite with a total of 223.5. While this isn’t quite the same Raptors team that gave the 76ers problems in past seasons, Toronto’s recent offense has found some rhythm—and Philly still has some road inconsistencies. This line suggests respect for both teams’ current form, and the matchup warrants a closer look.

Philadelphia 76ers Betting Form
The 76ers continue to look dangerous. Joel Embiid is anchoring another MVP-level campaign, and Tyrese Maxey has emerged as a real secondary creator. Offensively, Philly plays slower than league average but with excellent shot quality—ranking top 3 in FT rate and top 10 in effective FG%. They rarely beat themselves, and their defense has held opponents under 110 in four of the last six.
The challenge? Road volatility. While they’ve been dominant at home, the 76ers are just 10-8 SU on the road and have had letdown spots against weaker competition. Still, with Embiid on the floor, they hold a massive rim protection edge, and Nick Nurse has brought more variety to their schemes.
The rotation is healthy for now, but it’s wise to confirm status on the Philadelphia 76ers injury report before betting.

Toronto Raptors Betting Form
Toronto remains in transition mode, but the offense has improved. Scottie Barnes continues to develop as a lead initiator, and Immanuel Quickley’s arrival has added much-needed pace and spacing. The Raptors are scoring better at home lately, averaging over 115 PPG in their last five at Scotiabank Arena.
Defensively, it’s still rough. Interior resistance is lacking, and they’ve allowed over 50 points in the paint in four of their last six. They rank near the bottom in defensive rebounding and FT rate allowed—two critical areas against this Sixers team. That said, they’ve covered three straight and are 6-3 ATS in their last nine, showing some betting value in this underdog role.
Check the Toronto Raptors injury report for lineup clarity. If the main pieces are active, the Raptors have been feisty enough at home to stay in games.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Toronto Raptors Matchup Breakdown
This is all about whether Toronto can survive in the paint. Embiid vs Poeltl is a clear mismatch, and if the Raptors don’t send double teams early, it could get ugly. Philly has also drawn the second-most fouls per game this season, while Toronto gives up the 4th-most FTs—bad recipe if the game gets slowed down.
Toronto’s best chance is to push tempo. They’ve upped their transition frequency lately, and the Sixers are vulnerable to quick changes in pace. But Philly controls possessions well and ranks top 5 in turnover avoidance, making it tough to get easy buckets.
Key angles here:
- Philly ranks #1 in FT rate, Toronto ranks #27 in FT rate allowed
- Sixers have covered 4 of last 6 vs losing teams
- Raptors 6-3 ATS in last 9 overall
- Embiid has 4 straight double-doubles vs Toronto
This could be tight early, but the Sixers have the tools to pull away with execution and free throws late.
Philadelphia 76ers vs Toronto Raptors Predictions and Best Bets
This isn’t a spot where I want to fade Philly. The matchup suits them too well—paint touches, rebounding, FT edge—and Toronto’s recent offensive bump doesn’t fully offset their defensive liabilities. It’s not a huge number to lay on the road, and I think the Sixers can close this out late.
As for the total, I lean under 223.5. Philly plays slow, and their defense has been sharper lately. Unless this turns into a foul-fest or the Raptors shoot abnormally well from three, this could stay in the 215–218 range.
If you’re hunting alt markets, Sixers 1H -2 or Embiid props could also offer value.
Best Bet: 76ers -4.0 (-113).
