Bulls vs Raptors Pickswise Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick
CHI Bulls +8.0(-110)

The story here is both teams’ post-deadline adjustments and postseason ambitions. Chicago reshaped its backcourt by acquiring Jaden Ivey, signaling a shift toward pace, rim pressure, and transition opportunities. Even after moving key pieces such as Sub Zero (Coby White) and Nikola Vucecic, the Bulls’ approach now leans on maintaining possession flow and generating enough attempts to prevent scoring droughts that lead to blowouts. That makes a lofty number, like the one the Dinosaurs are laying here, that much more difficult to cover.

Chicago’s path to covering is tactical rather than explosive: limit turnovers, keep offensive trips ending in shots and points, and force a rhythm where both teams exchange scores. This style compresses variance and slows runs that typically push spreads out of reach. Toronto’s recent home stumble against the Timberwolves also shows that venue alone doesn’t guarantee dominance, even if the Raps are strong in Ontario and the Bulls have struggled outside of the Windy City. That disparity, if anything, creates a pricing gap bigger than reality.

Bulls vs Raptors prediction: Chicago Bulls +8 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable to the number.
