Raptors vs. Bulls Game Thread: Updates, TV info, and more

The Raptors are going with the two-bigs look against the downtrodden Bulls

The Toronto Raptors have won two straight — one of those against the lowly Chicago Bulls, against whom they play again tonight in Chicago!

The injury bug has not left the Raptors alone all year, and that trend continues tonight; OG Anunoby remains sidelined after getting whacked in the head in the last game against Chicago, Patrick McCaw is having thumb trouble, and Kawhi Leonard is out tonight for personal reasons.

Mad scientist Nick Nurse has decided to get experimental, and will start both Serge Ibaka and Marc Gasol for the first time. Not only that... Fred VanVleet starts, and Pascal Siakam... does not!?

Sounds a bit crazy right? At least that gives us all a good reason to tune in!
