The Chicago Bulls haven’t been the most consistent team in the NBA this season, but they have been great in one particular area over the years: beating the Toronto Raptors. The Bulls have beaten Toronto in 11 straight contests while covering the spread each time and will look to make it 12 tonight when they travel north of the border. Sportsbooks opened the Raps as 6.5-point home favorites with a total of 203.
- The total has gone UNDER in seven of the Raptors' last 10 games as favorite.
- The Raptors are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games after losing the previous game in a matchup.
- The Bulls are 2-7 SU in their last nine games after winning as an underdog.
Prior to the weekend the Bulls fell out of the eighth seed in the East thanks to losses in seven of their last eight, but a 95-86 win over the Utah Jazz turned the momentum around. The Bulls sit one game behind the Detroit Pistons and Miami Heat for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
Toronto suffered a big blow when starting point guard Kyle Lowry went down for the remainder of the season with a wrist injury, and the team has struggled to make up for his efficient 3-point shooting. But in Sunday’s 116-91 drubbing of the Indiana Pacers, the Dinos went 12 of 27 from beyond the arc, led by DeMarre Carroll’s 4-for-5 effort.
Raptors big man Jonas Valanciunas has been red-hot lately, as the Lithuanian has recorded a double-double in five of his last seven games.
The OVER has been a sizzling wager in this series, with eight of the last nine clashes between the squads going OVER the total.
