Toronto hosts Chicago on October 21; a preview reports no Raptors injuries and lists Toronto as a 9.5-point favorite. Leonard is expected back, with a projected starting five of Leonard, Barnes, Barrett, Quickley and Poeltl. The team is tempering expectations, with Leonard saying 20–25 games may be needed to assess the group; forecasts range from 45.5 wins to a speculative 54-win ceiling.
