The Chicago Bulls play host to the Toronto Raptors, at United Center on Saturday evening.

The Raptors (1-1) are coming off a tough road loss on Friday night, as they fell short in Boston after leading by six heading into the final quarter. The Raptors were outscored 12 in the final frame as they could not match the intensity of the Celtics at either end of the floor down the stretch. Despite the loss, the Raptors saw another stellar performance from Pascal Siakam as he tallied 33 points, eight rebounds and two assists, in 36 minutes. Kyle Lowry also had an impressive evening with 29 points on 6-of-10 shooting from long range. The Raptors will need more than just those two in order to win games, as they has only one other player score in double figures on Friday night. The Raptors need to look to tighten up their defense, as they allowed 122 points against in their first game and then 112 points against on Friday. The Raptors will be looking for their first road win of the season as they enter Chicago on Saturday.

Meanwhile, this also marks the second game of a back-to-back for the Bulls (1-1), as they are coming off an impressive win in Memphis on Friday night. After trailing by 13 at halftime, the Bulls burst out of the gates in the second half and outscored the hosts 63-42 the rest of the way to secure their first win of the season. Zach LaVine went off for 37 points on 13-of-23 shooting to lead the Bulls, while Coby White added 25 points, which is a new career high in his very young career. Lauri Markkanen who was huge in the first game of the season was quiet on Friday, but still hauled in 11 rebounds to go along with nine points. The Bulls have the benefit of being at home on Saturday and will be looking for their second straight win and first win at home.
