With no Zach LaVine, the Bulls have been running with a small ball starting five. Nikola Vucevic still anchors the paint at the center while DeMar DeRozan and Patrick Williams at forwards. Alex Caruso and Coby White are positioned as guards.
For the Raptors, there are no injuries from their starters, and will likely go with their usual five. Dennis Schroder and OG Anunoby are at the backcourt while rounding up the frontcourt are Pascal Siakam, Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl.
Chicago Bulls vs Toronto Raptors: Betting tips
DeMar DeRozan is handed 22.5 points on the NBA props and he has gone over that mark three times in the last five games. With or without a 100% healthy Zach LaVine, he should get more scoring load and should go over.
On the other side, 21.5 points is the NBA props for Pascal Siakam. He is coming off a 36-point game and went over the mark three times in the last five matches. He should go over again in this matchup with the Bulls.
Chicago Bulls vs Toronto Raptors: Prediction
The last time the Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors went up against each other, it took an extra five minutes to determine the winner. This is likely not going to be the case this time with the status of Zach LaVine. The Raptors are the favorites to win with the spread being covered. For the total, this should be a high-scoring affair again and this game should go over.
