TORONTO - Win, or go home — that’s what the Toronto Raptors are up against.
The No. 9 seed Raptors (41-41) host the No. 10 Chicago Bulls (40-42) in the NBA’s Eastern Conference play-in game on Wednesday.
If the Raptors win, they’ll play another do-or-die game against the Heat in Miami on Friday with a chance to make the first round of the NBA playoffs and play top seed Milwaukee.
Should they lose, the Raptors’ season ends and their off-season begins.
Toronto, led by forward Pascal Siakam and guard Fred VanVleet, finished the season with six wins over its last ten games, but struggled to follow up last season’s successful 48-win campaign.
