Canadian club Toronto returns from an away game against Boston (115-83) to play four straight games at home in Scotiabank Arena. The match with the Bulls is scheduled for 00:30 UK time.
Possible line-ups for the match:
Toronto Raptors:
G – Goran Dragic; G – Fred VanVleet; F – OG Anunoby; F – Scottie Barnes; C – Precious Achiuwa.
Chicago Bulls:
G – Lonzo Ball; G – Zach LaVine; F – DeMar DeRozan; F – Patrick Williams; C – Nikola Vucevic
Toronto Raptors:
Toronto lost Kyle Lowry in the offseason, so the Raptors are not expected to do anything special. Canada is building a new team, but it will take some time. The Raptors are not particularly criticized for their recent results, as they understand that with the selection of players that Nick Nurse has, it is quite difficult to show results.
After losing to Washington (83-98) in the season opener, Toronto went to Boston and pulled off a sensational 115-83 win over the Celtics.

They gave their all in a game against Dallas (95-103), but still couldn’t overcome Luka Doncic and co.
Thus, the Raptors had one win in three games. At the same time, five players on the team have more than 10 points per game on average.
Chicago Bulls:
Chicago has really stepped up lately. Particularly successful was the acquisition of DeMar DeRozan. The 32-year-old player was resurrected in his new team. Together with Zach LaVine they are the leaders of the Bulls. Their actions define the Bulls’ game.
It looks like Billy Donovan’s team will finally make the playoffs this season. Chicago won their opening games. In those games, the Bulls beat Detroit twice (94-88 and 97-82) and also took down New Orleans (128-112). The Bulls now lead the Eastern Conference standings.

Toronto is playing poorly right now, so we have our doubts about the Canadians’ success.
