Bulls are a Great Bet vs Raptors

The Toronto Raptors are looking like a different team as of late and will have an opportunity to avenge their lone loss in their last five games when they welcome the Chicago Bulls to town in Sunday’s slate of NBA action.

Shark Bites
  • The Bulls are 6-0 SU and ATS in their last six games against the Raptors.
  • The total has gone OVER in the Raptors' last six games in January.
  • The total has gone OVER in six of the Bulls' last eight games.

Like most teams, the key to Toronto’s success has been success on the defensive end of the floor. The Raps have won 14 straight games when holding the opposition to under 100 points. That’s bad news for Dinos backers, as the Bulls have reached triple digits in six straight games heading into the tilt.

Stringing covers together for Canada’s lone NBA club has not been an easy task. Toronto — who covered the -6 spread in a 104-94 victory over Charlotte on New Year’s Day — is an ugly 0-7 ATS in their last seven games following an ATS win.
