Chicago Bulls - NBA Betting Analysis
After taking down the Pistons by a score of 103-81, the Bulls are riding a two-game win streak. Zach LaVine led the way in scoring with 17 points. Not only did Chicago win the game, but they also covered the spread as 8.5-point favorites.
With the win, the team has moved to 40-42, placing them 10th in the Eastern Conference. So far this season, they have gone 22-19 at home and 18-23 on the road. The Bulls have a two-game win streak against the spread and have an overall ATS mark of 42-40.
Not only has the Bulls' offense struggled to score the ball all season, ranking 23rd at 113.1 points per game. But they have been even worse of late, averaging just 108 points per contest over their last five games. A key to the Bulls' offensive struggles is their inability to consistently knock down three-pointers. So far, Chicago is 34th in three-point attempts and 17th in percentage at 36.1%. The team's scoring numbers are also hampered by a below-average pace of play. For the season, the Bulls are just 98.9 in possessions per game.
This season, the Bulls have allowed an average of 112.0 points per game, good for 7th in the league. In terms of three-point shooting, opponents have knocked down 36.4% of their looks from beyond the arc (11th) and 47.5% of their overall field goal attempts. Chicago's overall defensive numbers have been good despite the unit's struggles on the glass, sitting just 23rd in defensive rebounds per game. The Bulls are also a below-average group in forced turnovers, at just 12.7 per game.
Toronto Raptors - NBA Betting Analysis
The Raptors enter today's game looking to build some momentum after a 121-105 win over the Bucks. Gary Trent Jr. and his 23 led the way for the Raptors. Not only did Toronto win the game, but they also covered the spread as 3.5-point favorites.
With the win, the team has moved to 41-41, placing them 9th in the Eastern Conference. So far this season, they have gone 27-14 at home and 14-27 on the road. This season, Toronto's ATS record sits at 42-39.
Going into today's game, the Raptors are ranked 25th in scoring with an average of 112.9 points per contest. Over their five most recent games, the team has been scoring an average of 218 points per game. Some key reasons behind the Raptors' offensive struggles are their poor shooting numbers from outside. Currently, they rank 24th in attempts and 29th in percentage at 33.5%. The team's slow pace of play is also impacting their scoring numbers, as they are 97.1 in possessions per game. On average, Toronto gets to the line 23.4 times per game (20th) and has hit 78.4% of these attempts.
This season, Toronto has put together a strong defensive unit, allowing just 112.0 points per game (7th). But despite their strong overall numbers, they have been vulnerable on the glass, sitting just 23rd in defensive rebounds per game. Yet, the Raptors have been excellent at forcing turnovers, averaging 11.2 per game, placing them 2nd in the NBA. For the season, they have allowed teams to hit 36.4% of their three-point shots and 47.5% of their overall shots from the field.
