The Philadelphia 76ers face the Toronto Raptors in a quick rematch on January 12, 2026, following Toronto’s 116-115 overtime victory the previous day. This Eastern Conference clash pits two playoff contenders against each other, with the Raptors holding a 2-1 edge in the season series so far. Philadelphia, fifth in the East, seeks revenge without key contributors, while Toronto, third in the Atlantic, aims to extend its three-game home win streak despite a lengthy injury list. Expect a gritty, low-scoring affair given the back-to-back scheduling and depleted rosters, highlighted by Tyrese Maxey’s scoring prowess against Toronto’s balanced attack led by Scottie Barnes.

Injury Report
Both teams are battling significant injuries, impacting depth and potentially leading to a slower pace.
Philadelphia 76ers Injuries:
Joel Embiid (C): Questionable – Left Knee (Injury Management)
Paul George (F): Out – Left Knee Soreness
Without Embiid (if he sits) and George, the Sixers lose 48.9 combined PPG, forcing reliance on Maxey and the bench for scoring.
Toronto Raptors Injuries:
RJ Barrett (F): Out – Left Ankle Sprain
Brandon Ingram (F): Questionable – Right Thumb Sprain
Jakob Poeltl (C): Out – Back
Chucky Hepburn (G): Out – Right Knee (Surgery Recovery)
Ja’Kobe Walter (G): Questionable – Right Hip Pointer
The Raptors are missing 54.2 combined PPG from Barrett, Ingram, and Poeltl, thinning their frontcourt and wing options.
Key Player Matchups
Injuries alter typical battles, but star guards and forwards will dictate the flow in this rematch.
Tyrese Maxey (PHI) vs. Immanuel Quickley (TOR): Maxey (30.9 PPG, 6.8 APG) exploded for 38 points in Sunday’s loss and ranks top-5 in scoring. Quickley (18.5 PPG, 5.8 APG) must contain Maxey’s drives, but Toronto’s perimeter defense (113.3 PPG allowed away) could struggle if Walter sits.
Scottie Barnes (TOR) vs. Kelly Oubre Jr. (PHI): Barnes (20.5 PPG, 8.8 RPG, 7.5 APG) delivered 31 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists in the win, thriving in transition. With George out, Oubre (13.2 PPG) steps up defensively, but Barnes’ versatility could exploit mismatches.
Joel Embiid (PHI, if available) vs. Collin Murray-Boyles (TOR): Embiid (25.4 PPG, 10.2 RPG) dominates inside, but Poeltl’s absence leaves Murray-Boyles (rookie with 11.4 PPG, 7.6 RPG) overmatched. If Embiid sits, Andre Drummond (7.0 PPG, 8.8 RPG) battles for boards.
Bench notes: Philadelphia’s Quentin Grimes and VJ Edgecombe provide shooting; Toronto relies on Jamal Shead’s energy (career-high 22 points Sunday).
