The current betting odds have the Raptors listed as a 5.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Raptors have looked good in their games this season with their 32-23 record overall which has them in the top half of the East. They have been a good road team too with their 16-10 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Bulls haven't looked good in their games this season with their 24-31 record overall which has them in the bottom half of the East. They have looked a lot better on their home court though with their 15-12 home record this season. As good as they have looked at home this year, they have looked terrible lately with a lot of their losses coming in blow outs, and they just got blown out by the Raptors on the road before the All-Star Break. They have been terrible lately as they are 1-9 in their last 10 games and they went into the break losing 6 games in a row. They also made some moves at the trade deadline which has shown that they aren't interested in competing this season, so don't expect the Bulls to turn things around in the final part of the season. The Raptors went into the break off a loss to the Pistons, but that is the best team in the East at the moment and the Raptors are still 6-4 in their last 10 games. They have also been a better road team this year than they have been at home, and they have been beating up on bad opponents all year. The best way to place a bet here is on the Raptors to cover the spread in this game.
