The Scotiabank Arena will welcome NBA action when the Toronto Raptors take on the Chicago Bulls on Friday night. In the Eastern Conference, The Raptors (15-32) are 12th while the Bulls (20-28) are 10th. Let’s get into the match prediction. 

The Raptors are enjoying an uptick in form and recorded their fifth straight victory on Wednesday when they dismantled the Washington Wizards 106-82. 

Scottie Barnes led the charge with 24 points, four rebounds and four assists, while a strong team performance was noted with seven others making double-digit contributions. 

The Raptors have averaged 111.2 points per game this season (19th overall) while allowing 116.4 PPG (25th in the NBA).

Meanwhile, the Bulls failed to find a solution to their poor run of form, suffering their eighth loss in 10 matches when bested by the Boston Celtics 122-100 on Wednesday. 

The Bulls struggled to find their range, shooting just 40% from their 92 field attempts, with no player able to break the 20-point mark in the defeat.

However, they do still possess the eighth-best offence in the league (116.4 PPG) but fall short with the second-worst defence that allows 120 points per game on average.
