Smart Game Analysis
Toronto Raptors has a 74% chance of winning the game
Toronto's cohesive offense and strong home form should overwhelm a disjointed, injury-riddled Chicago roster that is struggling to integrate new trade acquisitions.
Key Analysis
- • Chicago's backcourt depth is severely compromised with Josh Giddey out and multiple guards listed as questionable.
- • Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett have a significant advantage attacking a Bulls defense that recently surrendered 131 points to Milwaukee.
- • The Bulls rank 26th in points allowed per game (119.9) and have shown little resistance in the paint during their recent losing skid.
- • Toronto has won 5 of their last 8 games, while Chicago has dropped 5 of their last 6 and remains winless against top-tier teams recently.
- • Chicago surrenders 44.9 rebounds per game, a critical weakness that negates Toronto's disadvantage of playing without Jakob Poeltl.
- • To pull off an upset, the Bulls must exceed their average of 14.6 made three-pointers to compensate for their defensive lapses.
