Bulls vs Raptors Prediction
The Bulls will be eager to rebound from a blowout loss last night to the Thunder, and they’ve been great SU and ATS over the last few weeks. However, the Bulls are at the end of a back-to-back and are dealing with a handful of injuries. The Raptors don’t have much reason to win games, but that hasn’t stopped them from winning.
The Raptors are also 46-28-1 ATS on the season, making them the second-best cover team in the NBA, behind only the Thunder. The Raptors have covered seven of their last eight games as an underdog. Five of those covers were outright wins. Give me the points.
