Since having a poor night against Houston last week, Herro has been on fire. He ended up having his highest-scoring performance since he scored 40 points in February, but he was far more efficient on Thursday night. He missed just four shots and made at least 70 percent of his shot attempts for a second consecutive game. Herro has had the best season of his career, and this was just another monster performance for him. He’ll look to stay hot in Philadelphia to close out the week on Saturday.

Quickley has been in and out of the lineup with rest days lately, which could explain his rusty jumper as he was just 5-of-16 from the field Friday. The 25-year-old point guard still had a big impact on the game as he was just two rebounds and two assists shy of a triple-double. It’s difficult to say Quickley will be able to build on this performance because it’s just as likely the Raptors give him another game off for rest.

Walter led the team in minutes played with 32 as well as points with 22 in Friday’s loss to the Pistons. The 20-year-old shooting guard made the most of his opportunity as the team continues to give him looks down the stretch of a lost season. Walter figures to be a part of the Raptors future plans as a rotational player at minimum.
