Despite Goran Dragic’s best efforts off the bench, the Chicago Bulls fell to the Toronto Raptors in a close 104-113 game in Toronto last night. Fortunately, we won’t have to wait long to see a rematch, as these two squads are set to travel back to Chicago for Round 2 tonight.

If the Bulls wish to be taken seriously as contenders, they’ll need to find a way to win these close contests against the Eastern Conference’s elite. Down four key rotation players, I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but they’ll need to make a statement tonight with Zach LaVine returning to the starting five.

Here’s everything you need to know before tonight’s rematch with the Raptors.

Projected Chicago Bulls Starting Lineup and Injury Report

  • PG: Ayo Dosunmu
  • SG: Zach LaVine
  • SF: DeMar DeRozan
  • PF: Patrick Williams
  • C: Nikola Vucevic
  • IR: Out – Lonzo Ball, Andre Drummond, Coby White; Questionable – Zach LaVine

Although he’s listed as day-to-day, LaVine should be available for tonight’s game. If the plan was always for him to sit one game out, it makes sense for him to rest the first half of the back-to-back on the road before suiting up for the home crowd at the United Center tonight. There’s still no news on Coby White or Andre Drummond, the latter of whom was sorely missed last night on the boards.

Game Predictions

With LaVine expected to return to the starting five tonight, the Raptors won’t be allowed the luxury of double-teaming DeRozan through the entire game. As excellent as OG Anunoby is on defense, he cannot be everywhere at once. LaVine’s dribble penetration and shooting should be enough to keep Toronto off balance long enough to pull off a win here. Despite dropping last night’s game I’m still picking the Bulls to beat a Siakam-less Raptors squad.

My Predictions: (4-7)
