Bulls vs. Toronto Raptors at the United Center, 7 p.m.

TV: WGN

Radio: WMVP 1000-AM

Update: This hasn’t been a great week for the Raptors. On Tuesday, Toronto became the first team to lose to Washington this season, then dropped a home game to Sacramento a day later. Top scorer Andrea Bargnani (22.3 ppg) left the Kings game with a strained calf muscle and may not play this weekend, which would shift the offensive burden to SG DeMar DeRozan (14.1 ppg) and PG Jose Calderon (12.2). Rasual Butler, who finished last season with the Bulls, starts at small forward, while former Bulls draft pick James Johnson is averaging 4 points off the bench. Guard Jerryd Bayless has been out since Dec. 30 with a sprained ankle.

Next: Monday vs. Memphis Grizzlies at the FedEx Forum, noon
