It’s Tuesday, April 1, and the Toronto Raptors (28-47) and Chicago Bulls (33-42) are all set to square off from United Center in Chicago.
The Raptors are currently 11-26 on the road with a point differential of -4, while the Bulls have a 4-6 record in their last ten games at home. Chicago won both meetings versus Toronto this season by scores of one and 16 points.
Chicago has lost two straight games after going on a 9-2 heater over 11 games that featured two four-game winning streaks. Toronto is on a four-game winning streak, but all four wins came against Washington, Brooklyn, Charlotte, and Philadelphia — those teams have a combined 83-218 record (27.5%).

"While Toronto is on a four-game winning streak and Chicago has dropped the past two, this is a spot where I would back the Bulls. Chicago was on a nice 9-2 run over 11 games before losing to the Mavericks and Thunder. However, Toronto's winning streak is not impressive. Toronto beat Washington, Brooklyn, Charlotte, and Philadelphia — those teams rank bottom four in the East and have a combined 83-218 record (27.5%). Chicago beat teams like the Lakers, Nuggets, and Kings during their winning streak. It's Chicago or pass for me even at the -5 or -5.5."
