Raptors VS Bulls Picks

Facing off for the second time in 24-hours, the Toronto Raptors look to repeat their performance from Sunday night against the Chicago Bulls, this time on the road at the United Centre. In their win over the Bulls the Raptors were lead by Fred VanVleet who put up his best performance of the season thus far, dropping a double double with 30 points and 11 assists on the night.

The Raptors once again found strength in numbers, playing a spectacular team oreiented game, sharing the sugar and communicating defensively in order to take the win without their superstar forward-centre, Pascal Siakam. The Bulls were not at 100% strength either last night, missing star shooting guard Zach LaVine who is currently listed as questionable heading into tonight’s game.

In what is sure to be another hard-fought competitive matchup between two teams who are looking to vault themselves up the Eastern Conference standings, and place themselves firmly into the NBA Playoff picture. Find our best bets for the Raptors VS Bulls below, and win big on tonight’s NBA action.

Moneyline/Point Spread Pick: Toronto Raptors (ML/+3.5)

There’s no secret as to how the Raptors manage to win so many games while being shorthanded, it all comes from their fantastic defence. Beautifully masterminded by Head Coach Nick Nurse, the Raptors are always able to stay within reach of any game thanks to their ability to make their opposition struggle while in the offensive zone.

The Raptors excel at guarding the perimeter, utilizing their insane length and deep rotation of wing defenders to terrorize premier perimeter threats from beating them on the outside, as well as preventing any penetration into the paint. Going toe-to-toe with a Bulls team that heavily relies on success from the perimeter to win games, this could spell another rough outing for the Bulls top players.

Additionally, the Raptors are the superior team when it comes to physicality. With fantastic size across the board on their roster, the Raptors are able to impose themselves physically over the course of a game, wearing down their opponents as well as making their lives difficult on both ends of the court. The Bulls tend to roll out smaller lineups on average and will have difficulties matching up with the bigger Raptors squad.

Finally, we can’t praise the Raptors bench enough. Always able to get the most out of their players, the Raptors bench unit has played well in their given opportunities. Able to plug and play any rotational player without skipping a beat is a major asset on the side of the Raptors when facing a Bulls team that is fairly top heavy in terms of talent on their roster.

Back the underdog Raptors to take home back-to-back victories over the Bulls, covering the 3.5-point spread, winning the game on the road.

Over/Under Pick: Under 221.5 Points

After tallying together a lump sum of 217 points in their last meeting, the Raptors and Bulls are set for another lower scoring affair. Regardless if Zach LaVine does suit-up in tonight’s contest, look for both sides to play at a more methodical pace, looking to outwit their opponents in order to secure the victory.

With their legs likely feeling fatigued, don’t expect to see either side pushing the tempo offensively against their opponents, opting instead to work their half-court offence in order to produce scoring chances.

As already mentioned, with the absence of Pascal Siakam, the Raptors offence will likely underproduce in comparison to their performances earlier this season. Their defence will still be able to limit the Bulls making this a tightly contested matchup that could go down-to-the-wire, leaving the score low at the end of the 48-minutes of play.

Take the Under on tonight’s point total and enjoy a duel between two teams looking to find an edge against the other in what is sure to be a close finish.

OG Anunoby Over 17.5 Points

One of the most underrated players from around the NBA, OG Anunoby is possibly the NBAs best kept secret. A premier two-way player able to guard virtually every position as well as score at every level, Anunoby has shown in the past he can step up to the plate when his team needs him most.

Generally used as a third-option on his team, in the absence of Siakam, Anunoby has no problem increasing his touches and in turn, his scoring numbers. Posting 20 points against the Bulls in yesterdays competition, look for Anunoby to deliever an even more impressive outing in todays contest, surpassing the lines set by oddsmakers and scoring over 17.5 points against the Bulls.

DeMar DeRozan Under 0.5 Three-Pointers Made

A longtime Toronto Raptor, DeMar DeRozan is well-known and highly regraded by Raptors faithful, but certainly not for his three-point shooting. So far this season DeRozan has hit 4 shots from behind the arc in 11 games played, equating to 25% shooting from deep as a total.

Going up against a stiff Raptors defence, don’t look for Debo to deliver from long range in tonight’s matchup, opting to go to work with his bread and butter, mixing in the high post and mid-range game to help his team get the win against his former-squad.

Don’t expect an uncharacteristic night for the All-NBA stud, Take the Under on DeRozan’s three-point total in this game.
