Sporting News: The Raptors will beat the Bulls in NBA Play-In Tournament game
Gilbert McGregor writes: "This season, the Raptors have proven to be a much stronger team at home, evidenced by their 27-14 record at Scotiabank Arena, which will be on another level with a postseason atmosphere. There's a reason that up to this point, 10 seeds are 0-4 in the Play-In Tournament. Home court advantage aside, The Sporting News' Stephen Noh has examined how Poeltl's presence can be a real difference-maker for Toronto against Chicago. All things considered, the Raptors deserve a slight edge in this one."
