As of Friday the Bulls are coming off a win and are 8-2 in their last 10 games and the Raptors are reeling losers of 5 straight.The main reason the Raptors are losing is because of their defense, which has given up an average of 114.6 ppg in their 5-game losing streak.The Raptors travel south of the border, well their border of Canada, as they face the Bulls, who are looking to wrap up the top-seed in the Eastern Conference with the post-season approaching.
At time of writing on Friday the Bulls play on Friday night while the Raptors have the night off).
The Bulls have been one of the best betting teams on the season at 46-26-2 ATS while the same cannot be said about the Raptors at 31-41-2 ATS.
Not only will that be tough on a solid Chicago defense, but also Bargnani and Barbosa are banged up, but each should start in this game. The Bulls only rank 20th in the league in scoring, but their D ranks 2nd in the league in opponents’ points allowed.The Bulls also rank 2nd in rebounds per game led by Joakim Noah (11 rpg) and Carlos Boozer (Carlos Boozer 9.5 rpg) and this duo will be a major handful for the Raptors.
Toronto must man-up as a team and keep this duo from killing them on the glass.
Since the Raptors’ defense has been so bad they will have to score to win and they will need big games on offense from Andrea Bargnani (21.8 ppg), DeMar DeRozan (16.6 pg), and Leandro Barbosa (13.2 ppg).
The Bulls are simply way to good on both ends of the court and they win this game and cover the big spread.Derrick Rose (25 ppg 7.9 assists per game) is the front-runner for the MVP award and the Raptors have to keep him from getting into the lane and scoring.
