What to Know

The Chicago Bulls haven't won a matchup against the Toronto Raptors since Feb. 14 of 2017, but they'll be looking to end the drought Sunday. They will face off against one another at 7 p.m. ET at Amalie Arena. Toronto should still be feeling good after a victory, while the Bulls will be looking to regain their footing.

Chicago came up short against the Phoenix Suns this past Friday, falling 106-97. The top scorer for Chicago was shooting guard Zach LaVine (24 points).

Meanwhile, while not quite a landslide, the game between Toronto and the Houston Rockets this past Friday was still a pretty decisive one as Toronto wrapped it up with a 122-111 win at home. Point guard Kyle Lowry and shooting guard Norman Powell were among the main playmakers for the Raptors as the former posted a triple-double on 20 points, 11 boards, and ten dimes and the latter had 30 points.

The Bulls are expected to lose this next one by 6.5. The odds have been favorable for them against the spread on the road this season, even if it's been tough sledding overall. They are 11-4 ATS in away games but only 18-13-1 all in all.

Chicago is now 15-17 while Toronto sits at 17-17. A pair of stats to keep an eye on: Chicago has allowed their opponents an average of 8.7 steals per game, the second most in the league. To make matters even worse for Chicago, Toronto ranks second in the league when it comes to steals per game, with 8.62 on average. In other words, the Bulls will need to work extra hard to take care of the ball.
