Betting Analysis and Predictions: Toronto Raptors at Chicago Bulls

The Chicago Bulls come into tonight’s game against Toronto with eight losses in the past 10 games and three consecutive losses. The Toronto Raptors are fresh off a road victory against the Philadelphia 76ers.

The game is scheduled to tip at 8 p.m. ET at the United Center.

The Raptors have won six consecutive games on the road, including Sunday’s 93-88 win against the 76ers. The Bulls are coming off a 27-point loss as a 4.5-point road underdog on Friday to the Phoenix Suns.

The Bulls are at home and playing with two days of rest. The Raptors are on the second of back-to-back nights on the road. The Bulls are 3.5-point favourites after opening at 4.5 points.

Even though the Bulls have two extra days of rest, their quality of play in March more than offsets that rest advantage and reflects the betting interest on the Raptors, causing the line to decline.

Before you decide how to spend your NBA betting money, let’s look at more numbers.
