Toronto Raptors vs Chicago Bulls Prediction

Maybe the break helps a team like the Bulls, but they’re still dealing with injuries to key players. The Bulls are 1-9 SU and ATS in their last 10 games. I need to see something from the Bulls before I can get behind this team. The Raptors have been one of the surprises in the league this season, and they have 16 road wins. The Raptors also beat the Bulls by 16 points earlier this month. Because of the Bulls’ current form, I’ll lay the points.
