The Toronto Raptors invade the United Center to take on the Chicago Bulls on Friday night. Here’s a Toronto Raptors vs Chicago Bulls Prediction. This article will include a Toronto Raptors vs Chicago Bulls Pick.

Toronto Raptors Betting Preview

The Toronto Raptors have been doing it tough lately as they've lost eight of their last 10 games overall and they will be hoping to snap a two-game skid after getting routed by the Pacers in a 111-91 road defeat on Wednesday. Immanuel Quickley led the team with 18 points and six assists, RJ Barrett and Jonathan Mogbo scored 16 points each while Gradey Dick chipped in with 10 points. As a team, the Raptors shot just 42 percent from the field and six of 27 from the 3-point line as they got off to a poor start. They were always falling into a deeper hole after scoring just 17 points in the second quarter. In fact, the Raptors got outscored in every quarter as they looked toothless on offense and just kept shooting themselves in the foot with a total of 21 turnovers. 

Chicago Bulls Betting Preview

Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls have been in a real slump as they've lost seven of their last eight games overall and they will be hoping to bounce back here after falling short to the Clippers in a 122-117 defeat on Wednesday. Zach Collins led the team with 21 points, 17 rebounds, and seven assists, Josh Giddey tallied 21 points with eight rebounds and 12 assists while Coby White chipped in with 19 points. As a team, the Bulls shot 48 percent from the field and 19 of 42 from the 3-point line as they played hard to take a narrow lead in the third quarter. Until the Clippers went on a pivotal 15-2 run to start to take over late.

Toronto Raptors vs Chicago Bulls Prediction

The Raptors are still playing without Garrett Temple and they have Scottie Barnes currently listed as questionable, while the Bulls are keeping an eye on Jalen Smith and Ayo Dosunmu who are both questionable. You really couldn't back either side with any confidence given their current struggles. But the Bulls still open as slight favorites and they were more than competitive in their narrow loss to the Clippers in their last game and I think that's enough for me to back them at the short line.
