Chicago Bulls vs Toronto Raptors: prediction for the NBA match
A very interesting near-term history of face-to-face confrontations between these rivals. Three seasons (2017/18, 2018/19, 2019/20) were 100% Toronto dominated. The Raptors won all 10 matches against Chicago in the NBA regular season. But last season Chicago won all three head-to-head matches with Toronto twice at home (118:95, 114:102) and once at the Scotiabank Arena (122:113). Yes, and this season of Chicago head-to-head confrontation with Toronto began with an away victory 111:108.
Chicago Bulls
Groms are planning to leave the top three outsiders, because they have seriously taken up the matter. The team outpaced Houston and New Orleans thanks to their recent good play. Oklahoma secured two victories in a row, as they first beat the Clippers (104-103) and then snatched victory from Memphis (102-99). Shay Gilges-Alexander was at his best as always and led the team. As you can see, points are not so easy for Marco Daino’s wards, but it is in such confrontations that character manifests itself. “Thunder” is waiting for a battle with one of the leading clubs in the league, it pleases only the moment that it will be held at home.
Toronto Raptors
Toronto plays great games periodically. But stability is the main concern of Nick Nurse’s charges. In addition, injuries are constantly affecting the game of Canadians. For example, Precius Achiuva, Scottie Barnes, Pascal Siakam and Cam Birch will not help the Raptors right now. Despite all the difficulties, Toronto managed to defeat Golden State (119:100). Also in the last matches, the reptiles defeated Sacramento (124:101) and gave a fight to Brooklyn (29:131). But in the standings of the East they occupy only 11th place.
Prediction
Toronto's recent games have been successful, but Scotty Barnes and Pascal Siakam have played there. We will not see these performers on the floor now. In the upcoming meeting, the Canadians will play in a limited composition, so it will be very difficult for them to repeat their achievements. We doubt that the Raptors will have another productive meeting. Problems with the roster are unlikely to allow them to score many points. Our prediction is Toronto's individual total under 102.5 points for 1.90 odds in BC 1xBet. Before this meeting, the "Chicago" squad looked much cooler. The Bulls leaders are in the ranks, while Toronto has a lot of players who will miss the match. In this case, we suggest giving preference to "bulls". The second prediction is for handicap "Chicago" (-7.5) points for 1.76. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.90. Promo code for registration - ODDS2WIN.
