Chicago Bulls Betting Preview
Chicago arrives in Toronto looking very different than it did just a week ago. The Bulls are finishing a long road swing while navigating a full blown roster reset, and the growing pains have been obvious. Chicago has dropped five of its last six games, including back to back blowouts where the defense never stabilized. Losses by 54 points in Miami and 16 points in Milwaukee exposed how thin the rotation has become after multiple trades stripped away high usage players.
The departures forced a true next man up situation, but execution has not followed the effort. The Bulls trailed by double digits early in both recent games and never recovered. With limited continuity and a shortened lineup, Chicago has struggled to protect the ball, defend transition, and create reliable offense late in games. Even with extra motivation after sweeping Toronto last season, this matchup comes at an awkward time as roles are still being sorted out.
On the road, against a deeper opponent, Chicago faces an uphill battle to stay within striking distance if the pace turns fast.
Toronto Raptors Betting Preview
Toronto returns home frustrated but encouraged after letting a late lead slip against Minnesota. The Raptors controlled much of that game, building an 18 point advantage and entering the fourth quarter up double digits before turnovers flipped momentum. Despite the collapse, the performance reinforced how dangerous Toronto can be when the offense flows and the ball is secure.
Brandon Ingram scored 25 points, continuing to serve as a steady scoring option who can take over stretches when needed. Toronto’s home stand has been uneven so far, but the effort level and shot quality have been consistent. Cleaning up late game execution has been the main focus, especially limiting giveaways that fuel opponent runs.
Roster depth is quietly improving as well, giving Toronto more flexibility inside while maintaining perimeter scoring. Against a Bulls team still adjusting to major changes, the Raptors should control tempo and create cleaner looks throughout the night.
NBA Prediction and Betting Outlook
Chicago’s instability and defensive struggles make this a difficult spot, especially on the road. Toronto’s ability to score in transition and attack mismatches should stretch the margin as the game progresses.
