Randy’s Pick

I don’t want to lay points with the Toronto Raptors as much as the next guy, but I’ve said time and time again backing the Bulls isn’t in the cards for me. The Chicago Bulls continue to lose, they’re 5-10-1 ATS, and they often look like they don’t want to be there. The Bulls are also dealing with trade rumors around many of their key players. It’s toxic in Chicago right now. Give me the Raptors.
