I'm taking Chicago -2.5 on the road vs Toronto for these reasons:

- Toronto trading away Pascal Siakam is only going to make things harder to defende the paint and especially defende Vucevic and Derozen around the paint.

- Bulls have played well against similar to more inferior competitors, going 4-1 in the last 5 games vs teams under .500.

- This bulls team is deep and has veteran players to properly outplay the Raptors youth, who also played last night and got an impressive win vs the Miami Heat.

- The stats are now scewed with Siakam being gone, so this is more of a 'look at them now' type game, until we get more stats of this new Raptors roster, but I have to take the team who is more experienced together, and who are only 4 games below .500.

Official Play: Bulls -2.5

Side Bet: Zach Lavine over 5.5 rebounds

Hail Mary: Under 225
