While none of the other major sports will be competing while the Super Bowl is being played, there's plenty of action beforehand starting with the NBA, where the Toronto Raptors (35-14) will try to push their winning streak to 11 straight as they host the Chicago Bulls (19-32). The Raptors return home after taking care of Detroit on the road, 105-92, on Friday, while the Bulls have dropped the first two games of their three-game road trip and are dealing with a rash of injuries that have sidelined starters Lauri Markkanen, Otto Porter Jr. and Wendell Carter Jr. Tip off is 3:00 p.m. EST at Scotiabank Arena.

On the college hardwood, Mick Cronin's UCLA Bruins (11-10) may have turned a corner after winning three of their last four, including an impressive 72-68 victory over Colorado on Thursday during which the Bruins outrebounded the usually dominant Buffs, 39-29. The Bruins will try to keep the hot streak going this afternoon as they host the Utah Utes (12-8), who struggled offensively in a 56-52 loss to USC on Thursday. Tip off is 3:00 p.m. EST at Pauley Pavilion. To get Dunkel's pick for this game and the full NCAA Basketball schedule, click HERE.
