TOR vs CHI Dream11 Prediction NBL Live Toronto Raptors vs Chicago Bulls

TOR vs CHI Dream11: I’d be honest, Preseason is the most annoying part of the NBA schedule, You never know which players rest just before the game and the rotations are all over the place. This makes for a complicated scenario especially if you are probing the Fantasy scene and there is no doubt that the vibe during the Regular Season is just different. In this game, the Toronto Raptors will meet the Chicago Bulls.

The Raptors come into this game after losing to the Houston Rockets 100:116 despite a 18 points performance by Pascal Siakam. On the other hand, the Chicago Bulls ran wild on the Denver Nuggets and won 133:113 as DeMar DeRozan nailed 22 points.

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Raptors

Last season the biggest weakness for the Raptors was the lack of bench and their starters played the most minutes in the league which ultimately led to a bunch of injuries late in the season. Bringing Otto Porter Jr. addresses some of the bench deficiencies but they have still not addressed the back-up guard situation thus far. Still, they can have a strong switch defense with the likes of Siakam, Boucher, Van Vleet, Gray Trent, OG Anunoby, and Precious Achiuwa. They have multiple playmakers and are likely to make it to the Playoffs again.

Bulls

Depth is an issue for the Bulls too and they must be desperately waiting for Lonzo Ball to return. He fit in so well as a pace-pusher, passer, rebounder, and someone who was making his open shots when the defense was attracted to the double-isolation threat of DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine. Nikola Vucevic can be a strong rebounder but he was inconsistent on both ends. Patrick Williams, Alex Caruso, and Ayo Dosunmo make for a great hustle trio but the team will need Lonzo at some point.

NBA Scores, Fantasy Basketball Top Picks

Pascal Siakam(TOR)
Siakam had 16 points and 6 rebounds in the last game and he is one of the best two-way Forwards in the league. How will he play this season being in his prime?.

DeMar DeRozan(CHI)
DeRozan nailed 20+ points twice in a row and that too in around 20 minutes of action for him. He is the best mid-range scorer and will have a big season ahead. He is usually a candidate for Star/Pro Player in the Dream 11 NBA Fantasy scenario.

OG Anunoby(TOR)
OG is a brilliant defender who has also added isolation scoring to his quiver, becoming a two-way threat regularly.

Zach LaVine(CHI)
LaVine has the squad that can go to new heights but his own performances will need to step up as he continues to add new elements to his game.

Scottie Barnes(TOR)
Barnes shot 0/5 in the last game but this dude won the Rookie of the Year Award last season which was well-deserved.

Nikola Vucevic(CHI)
Vuc knows how to put the ball in the basket and he is also a strong rebounder but his defense is not consistent enough.

TOR vs CHI DREAM11 LINEUP BALANCERS

Gary Trent Jr.(TOR): Gary is a streak shooter who plays tough defense, and gave new dimension to the Raptors’ attack last season.
Ayo Dosunmu(CHI): Young Ayo has potential to become at least a role player who can play hard on both ends.
Precious Achiuwa(TOR): Precious is a tremendous rebounder off-the-bench and can also provide decent scoring inside.
Chris Boucher(TOR): Chris is an elite defender but his play can be inconsistent.
Patrick Williams (CHI): Patrick can charge on the defensive end and can also fill the lanes well.
Coby White(CHI): Coby is a superb isolation scorer but his production was inconsistent last season.
Delano Banton(TOR): Can Delano be the answer for the lack of Raptors’ bench?
Goran Dragic (CHI): Goran can earn a decent role with the Bulls.
Alex Caruso(CHI): Alex hustles hard and can be a big-time player on the fastbreak.
Andre Drummond(CHI): Drummond is a strong rebounder off the bench but his stock has fallen rapidly and he is basically a journeyman at this point.

TOR vs CHI Dream11 Lineup

PG: A Dosunmu
SG: Z LaVine, G Trent
SF: O Anunoby, D DeRozan(PP)
PF: C Boucher
C: P Siakam(SP), P Achiuwa
