Bulls Host Raptors on Saturday
The Toronto Raptors travel to Illinois to play the Chicago Bulls at United Center on Saturday.

The Raptors (53-23) own a 7-6 record across their last 13 games, as they simply don't care about wins and losses at this point. That's evident by the fact that they've rested Kyle Lowry and Kawhi Leonard on numerous occasions this season. Leonard is actually being rested for this game here but they probably don't even need him. The reason they're being rested is because the Raptors have essentially locked themselves into the two-seed. In fact, Toronto is four games back of the Milwaukee Bucks in first and 4.5 games up on the Philadelphia 76ers in third. That's a huge margin to make up in just six games and it's clear the Raptors will take every precaution possible to have Leonard and Lowry fully healthy heading into the postseason. Pascal Siakam will be just fine without them and he looks well on his way to a Most Improved Player of the Year Award.

The Bulls (21-55) have had a bad season for their standards but the roster they're putting out there right now simply can't compete. In fact, they're starting guys like Wayne Selden Jr, Shaquille Harrison, Antonio Blakeney and Brandon Sampson right now. That's a who's who of nobodies and it's no surprise their record is so poor when seeing that. You have to give these youngsters some credit though, as they've done well in the face of adversity. Zach LaVine, Otto Porter, Lauri Markkanen and Kris Dunn are all injured right now and that makes this roster much easier to understand. It's simple though, this club is not good enough to compete. That's why they own the fourth-worst record in the league and many wonder if they'll win another game this year with all these young studs sidelined.

This is the fourth and final meeting between these teams, with Toronto looking for the four-game season sweep.
