Bulls vs Raptors Betting Pick
This game will be played at Scotiabank Centre at 6:00 PM ET on Sunday, November 6, 2022.
Why Bet The Raptors:
✅ The Raptors could be without Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet in this game. Siakam is doubtful with a groin injury, while VanVleet is questionable with a back injury. But the Raptors were just fine without them against the Mavericks on Friday, nearly erasing a huge double-digit deficit in a one-point loss. Expect the grit of the Raptors to shine through no matter who plays against the Bulls.

✅ Toronto is one of the best defensive teams in the NBA so far this season. They have allowed 106.3 points per game through their first nine games. That has been good for fifth in the NBA in that department, with the Bulls ranking 10th. The superior defending of the Raptors will help them get through this contest.
✅ Chicago does not have a clean bill of health coming into this contest either. In addition to the losses of Coby White and Lonzo Ball, Zach LaVine is also questionable for the Bulls. With this being the first leg of a back to back for both teams, the potential for caution could hurt the Bulls to counter the injuries we know the Raptors are dealing with.
Chicago Bulls
The Chicago Bulls are 5-5 to start this season and they have had their ups and downs to say the least. They are coming off of a loss to the Boston Celtics on Friday in Boston. But the Bulls have not had a winning streak or losing streak longer than two games to kick off this season, and they will look to find some consistent winning basketball starting with this two-game set against the Raptors.
For the Bulls, defending the three-point line is going to be huge against Toronto. The Bulls are ranked 27th in the NBA in three-point field goal percentage defense. While the Raptors are not the best three-point shooting team in the league, they do have weapons like Gary Trent Jr. who can get hot and hurt Chicago.
Toronto Raptors
The Toronto Raptors lost their last game, falling by a point to the Dallas Mavericks. But the Raptors fought valiantly in that game, coming back from a huge deficit to lose by one. In this matchup, the Raptors are back at home, where they are 3-1 this season, as they look to finish the next two days strong before the leaguewide day off for Election Day.
It will be interesting to see how the Raptors handle Fred VanVleet and Pascal Siakam in this contest, as the Raptors play the Bulls in Chicago on Monday. The Raptors did a great job of relying on their second unit to fight back against the Mavs without either player being on the floor in the fourth quarter on Friday. That could prompt Nick Nurse to sit his top-two stars again to give them a few days to get right physically.
