After back-to-back wins, the Raptors will look to close out the series against the 76ers in Game 6 on Thursday night and clinch a berth in the Eastern Conference finals. The Raptors are coming off a 125-89 victory over the Sixers in Toronto, but in order to advance, they will have to play at that same level in a tough Philly environment. 

Philadelphia, on the other hand, will try to force Game 7 on Sunday. The Sixers have struggled throughout the series with the ups and downs of Joel Embiid, who has dealt with a sore left knee and an upper respiratory infection. He had one of his worst showings of the season in Game 5 with just 13 points, six rebounds and eight turnovers.

He's not the only one that had a poor performance, though. Ben Simmons finished with seven points and seven rebounds in Game 5, and he is only averaging 9.4 points for the series. Jimmy Butler has been the most consistent star for the 76ers, averaging 22.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game against Toronto. 

Meanwhile, the Raptors have put together more complete efforts as of late. Pascal Siakam had 25 points and eight rebounds in Game 5 despite dealing with a sore right calf. Kawhi Leonard continued his hot streak with a double-double (21 points, 13 rebounds), while Kyle Lowry (19 points) and Danny Green (17 points) broke out of their shooting funks. 

The Raptors enter the game knowing a potential battle with the Bucks awaits. The 76ers hope to avoid elimination and continue their fight to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since the 2000-01 season.
