How to watch Bulls vs. Raptors: NBA live stream info, TV channel, time, game odds

Through 3 Quarters

Only one more quarter stands between the Chicago Bulls and the victory they were favored to collect going into this night. They have emerged as the frontrunner and are ahead of the Toronto Raptors 93-84.

Chicago has been relying on small forward DeMar DeRozan, who has 27 points and five assists along with four rebounds, and shooting guard Zach LaVine, who has 19 points and seven assists in addition to seven boards. Deebo does need to be careful, however, as he is in foul trouble with four.

Toronto has been led by shooting guard Gary Trent Jr., who so far has shot 6-for-8 from beyond the arc and has recorded 30 points. Those points put Trent Jr. near his season high of 32.

the Raptors have lost 85% of the time when they were down heading into the fourth quarter this year, so this one seems just about wrapped up

What to Know

The Toronto Raptors haven’t won a game against the Chicago Bulls since Feb. 2 of 2020, but they’ll be looking to end the drought on Wednesday. Toronto might have tired legs after a contest yesterday as they head on the road against Chicago at 8 p.m. ET Jan. 26 at United Center. Both teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

The Raptors didn’t have too much trouble with the Charlotte Hornets at home on Tuesday as they won 125-113. Toronto’s success was spearheaded by the efforts of power forward Pascal Siakam, who almost posted a triple-double on 24 points, 12 assists, and nine boards, and shooting guard Gary Trent Jr., who shot 5-for-10 from beyond the arc and finished with 32 points.

Meanwhile, Chicago escaped with a win on Monday against the Oklahoma City Thunder by the margin of a single free throw, 111-110. Kudos to the oddsmakers for accurately forecasting both the winner and the close margin. Among those leading the charge for Chicago was center Nikola Vucevic, who dropped a double-double on 26 points and 15 rebounds along with three blocks. That makes it five consecutive games in which Vucevic has had at least ten rebounds.

The wins brought the Raptors up to 23-22 and the Bulls to 29-17. Two offensive stats to keep an eye on: Toronto has only been able to knock down 43.70% percent of their shots, which is the fifth lowest field goal percentage in the league. Chicago’s offense has more to brag about, as they they rank fourth in the league when it comes to field goal percentage, with 47.20% on the season. We’ll see if their 3.50% advantage translates to a win.
