The Bulls look to extend their home winning streak to 3 games when they tangle tonight with the Toronto Raptors.
Toronto brings a 27-54 overall mark (6-10 in the division) into this game versus a Chicago team carrying a 40-41 record.
Defence may play a big role in this one, but that's mainly because experts don't think much of it will be played. Oddsmakers opened the total on the high side, a huge 204. The line opened at 10.5 in favor of the Bulls.
Last time out, the Raptors lost to the Pacers 120-95 as 3.5-point underdogs. That contest went over the closing total.
Scott Skiles's troops were at Orlando against the Magic last game and came away with a 116-112 win, a game that went over 194.5. Oddsmakers had them as 5-point underdogs in that one.
Some trends to consider:
Toronto is 1-5-0 SU in its last 6 games after being 3.5 to 7 point underdogs
Toronto is 2-3-1 OU in its last 6 away
Toronto is 2-3-1 OU in its last 6 games
Toronto is 6-3-0 SU in its last 9 games after scoring 90 to 100 points
Chicago is 5-0-0 ATS in its last 5 home games against Toronto
Chicago is 5-0-0 ATS in its last 5 games against Toronto
Chicago is 4-1-0 OU in its last 5 games
Chicago is 4-1-0 ATS in its last 5 games
