The unbeaten Bulls will have All-Star center Nikola Vucevic available -- he was in question earlier today with a non-COVID illness, which dropped this spread from -3. I think Vuc playing is enough for at least a 2-point win at a Raptors team that is 0-2 at home.
The key news heading into this game is that Nikola Vucevic is questionable because of an illness. If he doesn’t play, the Bulls will have to roll with Tony Bradley and Alize Johnson at center. Even so, the Bulls have plenty of scorers in Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Lonzo Ball. In fact, they are off to a 3-0 start despite Vucevic averaging just 13.3 points and shooting 35.4 percent from the field.
Does this line look funny? Yes! I feel like the Bulls should be -5. I’ll take them in Canada vs a Raptors team that has bounced back from a rough opening night vs the Wizards. The Bulls could be in the Eastern Conference Finals this year. I love their starting five.
