Raptors vs Bulls Preview
Toronto will travel to Chicago on Monday for a battle versus the Raptors. For the latest NBA betting trends and NBA free picks on Monday’s game, check out our Raptors vs Bulls preview below.
What’s Going On Chicago?
The Chicago Bulls were hoping that when Alex Caruso returned to the lineup they were going to be playing much better basketball. Unfortunately for Chicago, that has clearly not been the case as they have only won one game with him back in the rotations. They’re going to be coming into this one after a disappointing loss to the Phoenix Suns that moved them to 0-15 against the top three teams in both the Eastern and Western Conference.
Chicago is going to be coming into this one with the 17th rated net rating, the 10th rated offensive rating, and the 21st rated defensive rating.
Toronto Has To Play Better Down The Stretch
The Toronto Raptors are going to be coming into this one also playing some disappointing basketball as of late. They still managed to stay afloat and hold the number seven seed in the Eastern Conference standings, but they’re hoping that they can turn things around so that they don’t have to play in the play-in game.
Toronto is going to be coming into this one after a disappointing loss to the Los Angeles Lakers that saw them lose by five in overtime. Scottie Barnes continued to impress as he led with 31 points.
On the season, Toronto has the 13th rated net rating, the 14th rated offensive rating, and the 14th rated defensive rating.

Personally, I’m going to wait to see if Fred VanVleet is going to play in this one. If he’s going to play, I’m going to take the Raptors to not only cover the spread, but to win outright.
Whenever Chicago is going up against a team that is above-average, I always like to put money on the other team because Chicago hasn’t played well against teams that are good this year.
