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.Â
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.

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.
