The Sixers entered the night alone in the No. 7 spot in the lottery, which would require them jumping into the top four in order to hold onto their pick. But by falling to the Raptors, they leapfrogged Toronto and put themselves in a tie with Brooklyn for the No. 5 slot:

Quentin Grimes was again the Sixers’ primary offensive threat, finishing with 29 points, four rebounds, and three assists.

The out of town scoreboard watch was good for the Philadelphia 76ers as the Toronto Raptors, the Brooklyn Nets, and the Chicago Bulls all earn wins.

The Sixers have a chance to pull ahead of their division mates in the draft lottery standings on Wednesday night.

The Raptors’ injury list was plentiful and they sat two starters in the second half, but a hot shooting second quarter carried them to an undesired win vs. the Sixers.
