Chicago lost its third game in four nights Wednesday, 122-100, to Boston. Eleven different Bulls scored but none of the eleven scored more than 16. The Raptors won their fifth in a row with a 106-82 win over the Wizards in Washington on Wednesday. Scottie Barnes scored 24 to lead all scorers.

The Raptors are playing their best ball of the season and have gone 7-1 straight up and against the spread over their last eight games. That turnaround has been sparked by lockdown defense, with Toronto leading the NBA in defensive rating over that span.
