The Chicago Bulls will still play basketball beyond the regular season. They became the No.10 seed in the Play-in Tournament after winning their last two games for a 40-42 record. Chicago has momentum because of their present winning streak, which includes the 102-81 defeat of the Detroit Pistons at home last Sunday.
As always the Bulls, will depend on Zach LaVine (24.8 PPG), DeMar DeRozan (24.4 PPG), and Nikola Vucevic (17.6 PPG, 11.0 RPG) in this end-all game against the Raptors on the road. Chicago covered the spread in 12 games of their last 17 trips to face Toronto. They are also 7-3 against the spread in their last 10 meetings with Toronto.
MatchPlug Prediction
The Raptors draw strength from the energy of the crowd at Toronto, and Pascal Siakam will be a wrench in the plans of the Chicago Bulls.
Final Prediction: Raptors Win.
