76ers at Raptors
After posting their first victory over an Atlantic Division foe, the Philadelphia 76ers look to repeat the feat on Saturday. The 76ers will head north of the border to face the Toronto Raptors - one day removed from a 106-100 triumph over rival Boston. Philadelphia had dropped a home-and-home set to the undefeated New York Knicks earlier this season.
Toronto already has accumulated several injuries to go along with losses in four of its first five games. A ray of light could come on Saturday, however, as the Raptors may have Kyle Lowry back in the fold. Lowry, who is a Philadelphia native and went to Villanova, will be a game-time decision as he deals with a sprained right ankle.

ABOUT THE 76ERS (3-2): Evan Turner collected 25 points and 11 rebounds and Jrue Holiday added 21 points and 14 assists as Philadelphia erupted with its highest scoring output of the season. Although it entered Friday's game as the lowest-scoring team in the league, Philadelphia stretched its legs to record 26 fast-break points and keep Boston on its heels. The 76ers claimed two of three versus the Raptors last season.
ABOUT THE RAPTORS (1-4): Toronto has gotten out of the blocks with a thud in every game this season - and the slow start cost Dwane Casey's club in its 109-104 loss to Dallas on Wednesday. Andrea Bargnani scored 25 points and DeMar DeRozan added 24 for the Raptors, who fell behind by 16 early in the second quarter and couldn't close the deficit. Toronto has dropped two straight after handing Minnesota its lone loss of the season on Sunday.
BUZZER BEATERS
1. Toronto will wear camouflage uniforms on Saturday to honor Canada's veterans.
2. Philadelphia guard Jason Richardson sat out Friday's tilt with an ankle injury, but he is expected to play on Saturday.
3. Toronto's Landry Fields visited a hand specialist on Friday, leaving his availability for Saturday's game in doubt.
