Toronto Raptors Betting Preview

The Toronto Raptors are starting to heat up again as they are now gunning for a fifth-straight victory after routing the struggling 76ers in a 127-109 road win on Sunday. RJ Barrett led the team with 31 points, five rebounds, and five assists; Ja'Kobe Walter added 17 points with eight rebounds and four assists, while Jamison Battle chipped in with 16 points. As a team, the Raptors shot 47 percent from the field and 17 of 38 from the 3-point line as they took control of the contest with their defense by holding the 76ers to just 18 points in the second quarter. They finished with a flurry in the fourth quarter to pull away and make it a blowout. 

Chicago Bulls Betting Preview

Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls have been in great form as they've won nine of their last 13 games overall, and they will be hoping to snap a two-game skid after getting shocked by the Thunder in a 145-117 road defeat last night. Jevon Carter led the team in scoring with 17 points, Talen Horton-Tucker added 16 points, while Josh Giddey tallied 15 points with eight rebounds and 10 assists. As a team, the Bulls shot 44 percent from the field and 16 of 51 from the 3-point line as they struggled from the start and were never in the contest after getting smashed by the Thunder by 74-40 in the first half. The Bulls will face the Trail Blazers following this one.

  • The Bulls have won each of their last six night games against Eastern Conference opponents that held a losing record.
  • The Bulls have covered the spread in each of their last six night games against Eastern Conference opponents that held a losing record.

  • The Bulls have lost seven of their last eight home games when playing with a rest disadvantage.
  • The Raptors have covered the spread in each of their last six games against Eastern Conference opponents that held a losing record.
  • The Bulls have failed to cover the spread in each of their last four games on the second leg of a back-to-back against Eastern Conference opponents.

Total Points Facts

  • Seven of the Bulls' last eight games as home favorites against the Raptors have gone UNDER the total points line.

Toronto Raptors vs Chicago Bulls Prediction

The Raptors are still missing a bunch of players, and they have decided to rest Ochai Agbaji and RJ Barrett, while the Bulls have ruled out Kevin Huerter, Lonzo Ball, and Tre Jones once again. I could see the Raptors pulling off the upset if they had Barrett starting in this game. But because the Raptors are going to be missing their leading scorer, I will side with the Bulls, who will be gunning for a season sweep in this spot.
