Jakob Poeltl contributed 16 points, while Ochai Agbaji added 13. Darko Rajaković’s team, with seven wins and 19 losses, currently sits in 14th place in the Eastern Conference.

Prediction

Toronto has fallen short of fan expectations early this season. The team from Ontario has struggled to find its rhythm and once again is unlikely to make even the play-in tournament. Chicago has performed slightly better but hasn't been particularly impressive either. However, the Raptors have been decent on their home court, with a win percentage of 48%. This is a great opportunity for them to slightly improve their standings in a game against a relatively weak opponent. With strong support from their fans, Rajaković's squad should secure a victory.

Our prediction: Toronto to win, including overtime, at odds of 1.94.
