Chicago vs Toronto Prediction: the Raptors Have Already Given Up

Prediction for the NBA match between Chicago vs Toronto, which will take place on January 31st. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Bulls had a road trip before they met with Toronto. The team lost to Phoenix (113-115) and Los Angeles Lakers (132-141) but ended the journey with a 104-96 win over Western underdog Portland. Looking at the last 20 games, we see that Chicago is doing well - 12 victories. Overall, the Bulls still have a negative record of 22-25. In the Eastern Conference standings, however, Chicago is already in the play-in zone, sitting in 9th place and 2.5 wins ahead of the 11th team.

The Raptors failed five games in a row and nine of their last ten. It is understandable, as the Canadians showed that they weren't counting on success this season by trading away OJ Anunoby and Pascal Siakam, two key players. Toronto has already fallen to 12th place in the East, 3.0 wins out of the top 10. The Raptors started last week's road trip with a 125-126 defeat at Atlanta.

After trading Siakam and Anunoby, Toronto has effectively given up the fight. At the same time, Chicago has not yet participated in the trades and should make the playoffs. Motivation and the current form of both could be critical factors in the upcoming game. We are betting on the Bulls to win. At the same time, we'll take Toronto's win in assists.
