The Toronto Raptors will have Immanuel Quickley back in the lineup Friday night against the Chicago Bulls after an eight-game absence due to a hip injury, Raptors coach Darko Rajaković said. Quickley will return to the starting lineup but will be on a minutes restriction.

Through 27 appearances, Bulls guard Lonzo Ball has played just 20.9 minutes per game, but will now be getting the chance to play a bigger role. The Bulls have announced that Ball is on a 28-minute playing time restriction now after the standout point guard requested his minutes to be increased.

The Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors face off in an underwhelming Eastern Conference matchup on Friday night. The Bulls and Raptors are both under .500 and have plenty of questions left to be answered ahead of the NBA Trade Deadline.

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.

In this new trade idea from Ishaan Bhattacharya of Fadeaway World, the Raptors make the decision to land an All-Star, giving themselves some extra credibility moving forward. The deal would be between the Raptors and New Orleans Pelicans, having Brandon Ingram head to Canada.

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.
