It wasnt long ago when the Toronto Raptors were riding high atop the Eastern Conference. Now theyre in need of a serious spark following another loss on a six-game homestand. But help is on the way with the return of second-leading scorer DeMar DeRozan. The All-Star shooting will be return and be inserted into the starting lineup as the Atlantic Division-leading Raptors try to avoid their sixth defeat in seven games Wednesday night against the improving Philadelphia 76ers. Catch all the action LIVE on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4, TSN5, and TSN GO with coverage beginning at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt. DeRozan played a key role in Torontos 13-2 start, averaging 20.7 points over the first 15 games. However, he hasnt played since sustaining a tear to his left adductor longus tendon in a loss to Dallas on Nov. 28. The Raptors owned the Easts best record while winning 11 of their first 15 without DeRozan. Theyve lost five of six since then, however, giving up 112.8 points per game in the last five to fall behind Atlanta and Washington. A 114-11 loss to Detroit on Monday was Torontos second in three games on its homestand after a 14-3 start at the Air Canada Centre. The Raptors (25-12) rank among the leagues best with just 12.2 turnovers per game, but committed 19 against the Pistons. Kyle Lowry scored 10 on 3-of-12 shooting with seven giveaways Monday after averaging 24.8 points and 2.8 turnovers while hitting 22 of 54 (40.7 percent) from 3-point range over his previous eight games. Youre going to go through things and go through (bad) stretches in an 82-game season, coach Dwane Casey said. How we learn from it and how we bounce back from it is going to be huge. Caseys club, though, could get a boost as DeRozan returns from his 21-game absence against the 76ers (7-30). DeRozan had 24 points on 8-of-12 shooting as Toronto shot 56.6 percent while limiting Philadelphia to a 37.9 percent in a 120-88 home win Nov. 9. Hes averaging 27.0 points over a five-game winning streak in the series. The 76ers, who opened the season with 17 straight losses, have surrendered 113.0 points per game during their skid versus Toronto. They allowed an average of 92.3 points while winning three of four before Tuesdays 105-87 loss to the Hawks. To have to go on a plane and now go to Canada and play another hell of a team - thats the nature of our beast, coach Brett Brown said. Youve got to wake up and you have to back it up. Michael Carter-Williams, who had 20 points and nine rebounds, missed the first meeting with Toronto due to a shoulder injury. He totaled 39 points, 13 assists and 12 boards in the last two matchups last season. Tony Wroten, averaging a team-best 16.9 points, isnt expected to play after he suffered a right knee sprain against the Hawks. That certainly doesnt help matters for a Philadelphia team that hasnt reached 100 points in its last 14 games. I dont believe hell make the trip, so were reduced to Michael and Jakarr (Sampson) and off we go, Brown said. Torontos Jonas Valanciunas looks to stay hot after scoring a career-best 31 on 14-of-15 shooting Monday. The big man has averaged 19.3 points on 67.3 percent shooting over his past four games.

Colorado Rockies Store . -- Ryan Millers debut for the St.Ronnie OSullivans fightback was all in vain in a thrilling 13-12 second-round defeat, as The Rocket was dumped out of the World Championship by Barry Hawkins. Hawkins had started Mondays evening session nervelessly, producing a pair of solid clearances to move one frame from victory at 12-9.In typical fashion, OSullivan responded with his fourth century of the match, a clearance to pink of 124, to reduce the deficit to 12-10. And he raised hopes of a maximum in the next, as a run of 11 reds and 11 blacks earned him a break of 88 and took him to within one frame of levelling the match.He duly did so when he capitalised on a Hawkins error to roll in a break of 63 and force the final frame in front of a captivated audience at the Crucible.

Barry Hawkins (l) will play Marco Fu in the quarter-finals OSullivan said: I fancied my chances but when a frame goes like that its a bit of a toss of a coin and if there was a weakness in my game it was definitely on the tactical side.I was second best in 90 or even 100 per cent of every frame that went like that, and if it wasnt won in one visit I probably lost all of them. I feel like a golfer birdying 15 holes but taking triple-triple bogeys on three holes.Quarter-final line-up:Ding Junhui v Mark WilliamsKyren Wilson v Mark SelbyAlan McManus v John HigginsMarco Fu v Barry Hawkins Also See: World Snooker Photos Bet ￡5 Get ￡20 free Get Sky Sports ' ' '
