Raptors, Bulls Looking To Rebound On Second Night Of Back-To-Back
The Chicago Bulls play host to the Toronto Raptors, at United Center on Saturday evening.

This marks the second game of a back-to-back for the Raptors (12-4), who are coming off a hard-fought overtime loss in Boston on Friday evening. Despite having six players score in double digits, including 31 points and 15 rebounds from Kawhi Leonard, and 21 points from Serge Ibaka, the Raptors fell short for their third straight loss. They have dropped consecutive games to the Pelicans, Pistons and on Friday night, the Celtics. This marks the second game of a four-game road trip for the Raptors, who are 5-2 on the road this season. The Raptors are averaging 116.5 points per game, which is sixth most in the league. Leonard has been quiet effective for Toronto, averaging 24.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game, while Kyle Lowry has been the team's engine, averaging 16.1 points, 10.7 assists and 4.2 rebounds per game.

Meanwhile, this is also the second night of a back-to-back for the Bulls (4-12), who are coming off a tough home loss against the Bucks, where they were blown out despite a strong start. The Bulls gave up 46 points, and were outscored by 29, in the third quarter on Friday night, which put the game out of reach, resulting in their third straight loss. Zach LaVine was quiet, with just 15 points in the contest, but otherwise has been incredible this season. LaVine topped 20 points in each of his previous games, and is averaging 25.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game. Wendell Carter Jr. has had a great start to his rookie campaign, averaging 11.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.0 blocks per game. The Bulls are giving up an average of 112.7 points per game, which is 10th worst in the league.
