Carlos Boozer leads the Chicago Bulls in a game against the Toronto Raptors
Carlos Boozer leads the Chicago Bulls in a game against the Toronto RaptorsThe Chicago Bulls are the best team in the east at the moment and part of the reason is the recent playoff Carlos Boozer. If the Bulls want to clinch the No. 1 seed in the East they will have to win games like this one against the Toronto Raptors.


BetPhoenix is the best online sportsbook to wager on the NBA and they have the latest odds on this and all other games on the schedule.

When forward Carlos Boozer piled up 24 points and 14 rebounds in a victory at Minnesota on Wednesday, it was his highest-scoring game since Feb. 23 and his best rebounding total since Jan. 28.

Maybe Boozer's big game can be chalked up to the Timberwolves' weak interior defense. Coach Tom Thibodeau felt it was because Boozer has gotten healthier since missing time with a sprained left ankle.

Another difference on Wednesday was the absence of center Joakim Noah. He skipped the game after suffering a sprained ankle two days earlier against Philadelphia. It's possible Boozer finds more room to operate in the low post when Noah isn't on the floor.

At the end of Wednesday's action, the Bulls held a 2-1/2 game lead over Boston and Miami for first place in the Eastern Conference. With eight games remaining, the Bulls should be in good shape if they can avoid slipping up against sub-.500 teams.

The playoffs may be a distant memory for the Raptors, who are limping toward the third-worst record in franchise history. But they can still have an impact in some way.

Toronto's next three games -- at Chicago on Saturday, home against Orlando on Sunday and at New York on Tuesday -- are against teams fighting for postseason seeding. It might be enough to give the Raptors cause to care a little bit more than usual.

The Raptors have given up on the season but will enjoy playing spoiler along the way. Take the Raptors and the points.
