Greg Monroe and Mike Scott are both game-time decisions for the Sixers, as Philly prepares to take on the Toronto Raptors on Thursday in Game 3 of the second round.
Monroe has an ankle ailment. He suffered the injury in Game 2 in Toronto. Scott, meanwhile, is still dealing with plantar fasciitis. He hasn't played since Game 5 of the Sixers' first round series versus the Brooklyn Nets.
Brett Brown says Greg Monroe and Mike Scott both remain game time decisions with ankle and plantar fasciitis issues, respectively.

The Sixers need to win both Games 3 and 4 to keep home-court advantage.
Monroe is averaging 5.3 points and 4.0 rebounds in the playoffs for the Sixers. The lefty is shooting 42.9 percent from the field.
Scott is putting up 5.6 points and 4.4 rebounds. He's shooting 35.7 percent from the floor and 26.1 percent from beyond the arc. The stretch forward hit the game-winning 3-pointer in Game 4 against the Nets in Brooklyn.
The Sixers will need another big game from All-Star small forward Jimmy Butler in Game 3. Butler scored 30 points in Game 2 to lead Philly to a 94-89 win. Joel Embiid is still dealing with left knee soreness, so Philly has been running their offense through Butler lately.
Raptors superstar Kawhi Leonard 40.0 points through the first two games of this series. The Sixers will have to contain him in Game 3 to the best of their ability.
