NBA

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

Despite the problems with the line-up, Chicago continues to gain victories. In the last two matches, the Raptors defeated the Lakers (115:110) and Houston (133:118). These successes allowed the Bulls to gain a foothold in the second line of the Eastern Conference.

In recent matches, Zach Lavigne, Ayo Dosunmu and Trey Brown have not played for the Bulls. However, this did not really affect the game of "Chicago". They have Nikola Vucevic, Lonzo Ball and DeMar Derozan. The successful play of the team largely depends on this trio. Also in the previous match, Cobie White surprised. In 31st minute on the floor he scored 24 points and made five rebounds.

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.
