NBA Friday

Chicago Bulls at Toronto Raptors
The Bulls stop the streaking NY Knicks winning streak. That's two impressive stop against Miami and Knicks, both teams were steam rolling opponents before facing the Bulls.  However Chicago is not exactly an surging team at 3-2 in last 5 and 6-4 in last 10. The Bulls are coming off a OT win against NY at home playing the second leg of home & road back to back making this a tough spot. Toronto sub .500 team, but better ATS team than Chicago and plays much better at home.  The Raptors just beat Chicago SU as a +3.5 Underdog and they will be receiving points here again. The situation seems to point toward Chicago let down, but this late in season Toronto's motivation is fading. I wouldn't say Toronto's going to "mail it in", but the Bulls may "will" this game despite the draining OT against the Knicks. NY on revenge games are not that good at 11-17, but as a short road underdog they are 6-3 and winning against Atlantic division teams 12-5 with good road ATS record of 22-15.  Toronto 10-13 as favorites, 2-8 with two days rest, 14-20 against winning teams. 6-12 against winning teams in second half. Home games against above ,500 teams have disappointed.

CHICAGO BULLS +2.5 at -105 for 1 unit(L)
