Mark Schanowski, Kendall Gill and Will Perdue preview the Bulls' upcoming home games against the Raptors and Celtics on this edition of the Bulls Road Ahead, presented by Chicagoland and NW Indiana Honda dealers.
After ending their six-game road trip with a thud in Minnesota, the Bulls return home to close out the first half of the season this week.
Ending their current three-game losing streak won't be an easy task, though, as a pair of Eastern Conference contenders hit the United Center floor. First up, the Toronto Raptors, who currently sit at No. 4 in the playoff standings, head to town for a Valentine's Day matchup. The Bulls have shown little love for the Raptors recently, beating them nine straight times.
The Bulls then get set to face Isaiah Thomas and the red-hot Celtics Thursday night before getting a much needed All-Star break. Unfortunately for the injury-riddled Bulls, their chances of picking up two crucial wins before All-Star weekend may be directly tied to the health of Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade. The top scoring threats both sat out Sunday afternoon's game against the Timberwolves, resulting in a 117-89 blowout.
