The Toronto Raptors are set to face the Chicago Bulls amid both teams' rebuilding phases. Scottie Barnes and Nikola Vucevic's absences will require other players to step up. Toronto, despite struggles, is better prepared for missing their best player due to season-long injury challenges. The Raptors come off two losses but face a Bulls defense ranked poorly in allowing points, particularly in the paint. Effective performances from players like RJ Barrett and Jakob Poeltl could exploit Chicago's defensive weaknesses.
Both teams are in the midst of their own rebuilds, and with each squad likely being without their best players, both teams will need players to step up.
Chicago's defense is one of the worst in the league, and they are especially bad at giving up points in the paint, making life easier for Toronto's offense.
