Toronto entered that contest 7-6 but has won 12 of 18 with Biyombo filling in at center.

Marcus Mariota should sit out the remainder of the season
The Patriots have won two in a row since stumbling to consecutive losses – their first two-game losing streak since 2012. Mularkey said the rookie wanted to return against the Patriots, but the Titans chose to be cautious and protect Mariota.
Center Greg Monroe had 19 points for Milwaukee. The Raptors’ prospects are looking up heading into 2016. On Saturday afternoon, Prunty took two of those run-busting timeouts during the second quarter against the Raptors.
A Rising Death Toll From Severe Weather
The rushing water separated the family as they got out of the vehicle , he said, but the boy was later reunited with his family. Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin declared a state of emergency in expectation of an ice storm and blizzard conditions on Sunday.
Chicago on the other hand, is a team that’s been in a funky haze all season. Throughout this season, commentators have complained about the Bucks’ offensive system.
Suns Fire Coach Mike Longabardi and Jerry Sichting
Hornacek won 48 games as a rookie coach in 2013-14, before the team took a step back last season. Head coach Jeff Hornacek managed to keep his job but a couple of assistants were shown the door.
And then there’s Derrick Rose. “We’re a pretty good team when we can attack with that type of pace”.
The Bulls hope to tighten things up defensively after allowing an average of 106.2 points in regulation over their last five games.
The disappointments in Chicago don’t stop there. DeMar DeRozn scored 28 points and Bismack Biyombo had 20 rebounds for the Raptors.
Prunty said the Bucks’ victory over Philadelphia on Wednesday showed progress after they rallied to beat Phoenix on Sunday, ending a 12-game road losing streak.
Now the visiting Raptors should finally be at full strength with Jonas Valanciunas expected to return Monday night when they try to end a five-game skid against the Chicago Bulls. “We need to pick it up”. Valanciunas has always been hulking and rather slow, so it would be unfair to expect him to play a full complement of minutes while he’s still regaining game shape.
Still, it will be nice to have Valanciunas’ dependable offense back in Casey’s tool box. Besides those two, Toronto’s scoring has been evenly distributed.
Along with that, who knows if the team can get something close to a major contribution out of the group of Norman Powell, Anthony Bennett, Lucas Nogueira and/or Delon Wright.
“He’s starting to get better”, Prunty said.
Terrence Ross – Through all Toronto’s injury struggles this year, the silver lining in it all may very well be the play of Terrence Ross.
DeRozan has carried the Raptors over the last 10 games or so. “To be honest, it should be better”, Lowry told reporters.

It’s hard to imagine the Raptors making a major shakeup given their record right now but if things continue for Patterson like they have been, his playing time could significantly diminish and it will undoubtedly lead to his name being a source of a lot of trade rumors. The rest of the team was 1-of-11, so that hot shooting from players who had been cool for most of the season coming from a pair of players who are at different crisis points in their careers is significant. That’s the balancing act is how you’re going to finish the game.
