Defensively, the Bulls are giving up 113.2 points per game while opponents shoot 47.1 percent against them. Injuries have piled up for the Bulls as Zach LaVine and Otto Porter Jr. are both out today and Kris Dunn is doubtful. Those three combine for over 50 points per game. Lauri Markkanen is the team leader right now with 18.9 points and 9.0 rebounds per game.

NBA Betting Trends

Chicago

The Bulls are 9-4 against the spread in their last 13 road games, but just 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight games on two days of rest.

Toronto

The Raptors are 3-8 against the spread in their last 11 conference games and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games.

Prediction:

Toronto hasn’t been healthy often as of late, but the Raptors seem to be fully ready to go today against a Chicago team that isn’t good at full health, and the Bulls are really beat up right now. Toronto has won the two meetings with the Bulls already this season and I think they cruise to a third win today. Chicago just doesn’t have the bodies to compete tonight.

NBA Prediction: Toronto Raptors -13.5
