Late-game collapses have become far too regular for the Toronto Raptors, as they fell apart in the fourth quarter against the Timberwolves last night.
Luckily, they’ll be able to quickly put that behind them as the Chicago Bulls come to town. Chicago is in the middle of a fire sale ahead of today’s trade deadline, making Toronto a big favorite.

My Bulls vs. Raptors predictions and NBA picks are betting that one player in particular will take advantage of Chicago’s depleted roster tonight.
Bulls vs Raptors prediction
Bulls vs Raptors best bet: Brandon Ingram Over 21.5 points (-115)
The Toronto Raptors have made some baffling decisions late in games, costing them several wins recently, including last night against the Timberwolves. That has me looking at Brandon Ingram.
You can bet the Raptors feed Ingram to overcompensate for last night. Additionally, he’s averaging 23 points while shooting 41.5% from deep over his last eight games.

Then there’s the matchup with the Chicago Bulls. Between injuries and trades, it’s hard to recognize this team. One that already ranked 25th in defensive rating.
Mix in no RJ Barrett, and BI should go Over 21.5 points for the sixth time in nine games.
Bulls vs Raptors same-game parlay
Here’s what’s going on with the Bulls. Josh Giddey is out, and two starters from their last game, Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White, have been traded away.
They had already allowed 116+ points in five of their last six games. If the Raps can’t get to that number tonight, something is wrong.
Still, someone will have to score for Chicago, and I’m looking at Jalen Smith. Chicago’s big man has topped this number in five of his last six games, and the Raptors have little to no presence in the paint.
