Toronto will host Chicago in 9-10 play-in game Wednesday.
made a statement Friday it went something like this: “We’ll take our chances as the ninth-place team in the play-in tournament, thank you very much.”
The Raptors will face the Chicago Bulls in a must-win game in Toronto on Wednesday and then will have to win on the road against either Miami or Atlanta to sneak into the final Eastern Conference playoff spot. Raptors coach Nick Nurse stayed true to his form and used his starters well into the second half of a game they had little chance of winning, which allowed Pascal Siakam to get a team-high 19 points in 30 minutes. And Gary Trent Jr. got some much-needed court time, playing 21 minutes. But Fred VanVleet, O.G. Anunoby and Jakob Poeltl sat the entire fourth quarter as the Raptors wisely waved the white flag.
The Bulls, who finish the season Sunday at home to Detroit, rested DeRozan, Zach LaVine and Patrick Beverley on Friday night and Alex Caruso and Nikola Vucevic played limited minutes in their game in Dallas. The Bulls were locked into 10th in the East before Friday’s games.
