Both of these teams have been hit or miss up to this point, but it's fair to say the Toronto Raptors have been the slightly better team at both ends of the floor so far. The Chicago Bulls have had issues getting stops when it counts, and they're 28th in 3 point percentage allowed. The home team has won 6 of the last 8 meetings between the Raptors and Bulls. We're not being asked to lay anything crazy. I'll lay the bucket with the Raptors at home.
