Raptors vs. Bulls Preview
On the surface, the Bulls might seem like a very tough sell, given that they've lost seven of their last eight games.
Drill a bit deeper, however, and note the improved efforts of late, with four straight covers (despite only one outright win) since the All-Star break.
Their lone outright win during that span was was a thumper (142-110) over the Sixers, as Billy Donovan has officially turned ex-Thunder guard Josh Giddey loose, scoring 21+ in each game since the break, and four double-doubles in a row (on Wednesday vs. the Clippers, he recorded 21 points and 12 assists).
Note the Raptors are only 5-22 SU on the road this season, and they ran out of gas in Tuesday's 111-91 loss at Indiana after a few competitive efforts.
I'll lay the points with Chicago in this spot.
Best Bet: Bulls -2 (-110)
Raptors vs. Bulls Parlay Picks
By Chris Prince
Zach Collins Over 26.5 Points, Rebounds, & Assists (+100)
Zach Collins should be in line for another start with Patrick Williams already announced as out, Jalen Smith listed as questionable, and Nikola Vucevic unlikely to play with a doubtful tag.
Collins was fantastic the other night, totaling 45 Points + Rebounds + Assists (PRA), which showed how valuable he can be in this role.
With all of the injuries in Chicago, he played a season-high 38 minutes, and has averaged 1.06 fantasy points per minute this season (1.21 over past month).
So, simple math suggests that this line is underpriced. Take advantage in this spot against the Raptors, who have struggled with centers this season.
