Andrea Bargnani and Jerryd Bayless are back in the Toronto Raptors' lineup.

Bargnani started Tuesday night against the Chicago Bulls after missing four games with sore left calf. Bayless also started after missing a game with a sprained left ankle.

Toronto coach Jay Triano says he will monitor Bargnani's minutes. The 7-foot Bargnani is averaging 21.2 points and the 6-3 Bayless is averaging 8.1 and 3.4 assists per game.

Raptors guard Jose Calderon missed the game with a sprained right ankle and forward Sonny Weems missed his eighth straight game with back spasms.

Before Tuesday's game, the Raptors had lost 11 of 14.
