Raptors Look to Keep Preseason Record Perfect vs. Bulls: Where to Watch & More /

In this story:

Preseason will continue for the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday night when the team hits the road for a date with DeMar DeRozan and the Chicago Bulls at 8 p.m. ET.

Where to Watch

TSN will air the game in Toronto. NBC Sportsnet and 670 AM will call the game for Chicago.

What to Watch For

This should be a more competitive game than Sunday's victory over the Cairns Taipans and hopefully, there will be more substantial takeaways to be had.
Once again, it seems like Chris Boucher will be poised for the start with Jakob Poeltl expected to miss Tuesday's action. There's a good chance Toronto tests out some small-ball units without a center to see how they look.
Precious Achiuwa could make his preseason debut after battling a left groin strain. He's considered questionable to play. If he does, it'll be important to keep an eye on how he's adapting to Toronto's new offense, one that prioritizes ball movement from the high post.
It'll be another night to keep an eye on Toronto's rotations. If Jeff Dowtin Jr. doesn't get in until the last group, his days with the Raptors will be all but over. Malachi Flynn so far appears to have cemented himself as the Raptors' backup point guard.

Toronto did a better job of limiting turnovers against Cairns, but five for Scottie Barnes was a tad disappointing. The increased ball movement will certainly be helpful, but the turnovers can't get out of hand this year.
