We have an Eastern Conference battle on Tuesday, January 30, so make sure to read the Raptors vs Bulls Player Prop Bets. The Toronto Raptors travel to Chicago hoping to avoid the tenth loss in 11 games and sixth in a row, while the Chicago Bulls look for the fifth home win in six games.
Raptors vs Bulls Player Prop Bets – DeMar DeRozan Over 34.5 Points, Assists, and Rebounds (-120)
DeMar DeRozan combined for 33 PTS, AST, and REB last time out. I lost that best and now I returned with the same one. Hopefully, DeRozan will deliver tonight. In two of three games against Toronto this year, DeRozan combined for 35+ PTS, AST, and REB, including the most recent clash when he combined for 37.
The former Raptor is getting a lot of minutes on the floor this year (37.2), the most of his career. With Zach Lavine out injured, DeMar is a go-to guy for the Bulls, so I expect him to take plenty of shots in this game, 20+.
The Raptors allow 23.8 ppg, 10.6 rpg, and 4.4 apg to the opposing power forwards. Now, DeRozan is not a PF, he is more of an SG-SF, but will start at power forward because Pat Williams is also sidelined. This will give DeRozan an opportunity for some easy rebounds, while we can’t ignore the fact he is the top assist-maker on the team with 5.4 apg.
Scottie Barnes To Record a Double-Double (+165)
Toronto also has injury troubles for this game. The Raptors will be without RJ Barrett, while Jakob Poeltl (ankle) is questionable, and even if he returns to the floor tonight, I don’t think the Austrian will get many minutes.
This is a chance for Scottie Barnes to excel on offense. He did register 20+ points in five of the last six games, and even though he had just one double-double over that stretch, Barnes recorded a DD in two of three H2Hs against Chicago this season.
Chicago allows 44.0 rpg this year, while the Bulls allow 23.8 ppg and 11.3 rpg (most in the NBA) to the opposing power forwards. Barnes averages 2.3 offensive rebounds per game, and that will surely help him in getting a double-double here.
Hopefully, both of the Raptors vs Bulls Player Prop Bets will be winners. For more NBA prop picks, make sure to read the 76ers vs Warriors Player Prop Bets for Tuesday, January 30.
