On Tuesday night, the Toronto Raptors continued their impressive play with an inspiring win over the Chicago Bulls. Pascal Siakam scored 20 points and Gary Trent Jr. added 19 as Toronto won its eighth straight game and turned around their season with a 37-71 overall shooting percentage and 10-for-25 shooting from 3-point range, but had 20 turnovers leading to 21 points for Toronto. Scottie Barnes struggled through three quarters shooting 1 for 8 but dropped eight points and had four blocks in the fourth as the Raptors pulled away for victory. Fred VanVleet returned to action after missing the last three games. Although he shot just 1 for 11 from 3-point range and scored only three points, VanVleet still made an impact with nine assists and six rebounds.
On Tuesday night, the Washington Wizards outscored the Hawks by eight points in the fourth quarter to claim a thrilling 119-116 victory. Bradley Beal scored 37 points while Kyle Kuzma added 28. With 35 seconds left, Beal hit a pull-up jumper that gave his team an overwhelming 117-113 advantage. Daniel Gafford had 13 points and made a key stop down the stretch, giving Washington three players in double figures (Kuzma, Beal). Beal made 17 of 30 shots and added seven assists, while Kuzma made 10 of 26 from the field to snap their two-game losing streak. Porzingis and Monte Morris both missed this game but should return for this pivotal clash against the Raptors.

The Toronto Raptors continued their impressive play, finally getting healthy with Fred VanVleet returning to the lineup after missing three games. Although Toronto has a full roster, they remain outside the top five teams in the Eastern Conference but have yet to gel as a unit. Porzingis missed two consecutive games and could potentially miss out on playing for Washington, his status remains uncertain and it was an advantage for the Raptors to get this win according to basketball betting picks.
