The Bulls are connecting on 36.1% of shots beyond the perimeter (854 of 2,367) and 80.9% from the free throw line.

They are 22nd in the league in giving up assists to their opponents with 2,131 conceded for the campaign.
Chicago vs Toronto Head-to-Head this season
The Raptors won two out of the three matchups with the Bulls this season. The home team won all three games this season.
Our Betting Pick for Today – Bet Bulls +5
Both teams boast formidable defensive units, but I put more faith in Chicago’s offensive weapons to secure a victory. While it could be an intensely close game, LaVine and DeMar DeRozan should put on an impressive show down the stretch and secure victory for the Bulls.
