The Toronto Raptors face a depleted roster on Wednesday at the United Center. Chucky Hepburn, Trayce Jackson-Davis, A.J. Lawson, and Alijah Martin are out, while Collin Murray-Boyles is listed as doubtful with a left thumb sprain.
Chicago also deals with absences, including Zach Collins, Noa Essengue, Jaden Ivey, Mac McClung, and Anfernee Simons all unavailable. Isaac Okoro is doubtful, and Collin Sexton is questionable for the matchup.
Toronto will rely on Scottie Barnes and Brandon Ingram, averaging 18.7 and 21.9 points per game, respectively, to carry the offense. Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett provide additional scoring, with Quickley averaging 17.1 points and 6.0 assists per contest.
For the Bulls, Josh Giddey leads with 17.9 points and 8.9 assists per game, while Matas Buzelis adds 16.1 points and 5.6 rebounds. Tre Jones contributes 12.9 points and 5.5 assists, and Collin Sexton’s participation could influence Chicago’s scoring options.
This season, the Raptors have taken both meetings against Chicago, including a 123-107 home win on February 5 and a 110-101 victory at the United Center on February 19.
Recent form favors Toronto, which has won its last two games against Detroit and Phoenix, while the Bulls are 1-1 in their previous two contests with a 132-107 win over Memphis following a loss at Los Angeles.
Toronto holds a 38-29 record in the Eastern Conference, sitting fifth and aiming for playoff positioning. Chicago remains at 28-40 and 12th in the East.
