Bulls vs Raptors Prediction, Odds & Game Preview 4/1/2025

The Chicago Bulls aim to maintain their perfect record against Toronto this season as they host a Raptors squad riding an impressive four-game winning streak at the United Center on Tuesday night.

While Chicago clings to the 10th seed in the Eastern Conference behind their potent offense (117.3 ppg), Toronto's stellar ATS record (46-28-1) and RJ Barrett's 31-point explosion against Philadelphia suggest this matchup won't be the cakewalk their previous encounters might indicate.

Recent history tells a closer story than the 3-0 season series suggests, with one Bulls victory coming by a single point and another requiring overtime to decide between Chicago Bulls vs Toronto Raptors.

Chicago Bulls vs. Toronto Raptors preview

The Bulls will welcome the Raptors to the United Center tonight in what's shaping up to be a more interesting clash than the standings might suggest.

Chicago, clinging to that 10th spot in the East with a 33-42 record, has owned Toronto this season, going 3-0 in their head-to-head matchups — though their victories have come by razor-thin margins, with one win by a single point and another requiring overtime.

Despite their disappointing 28-47 record, the Raptors are low-key one of the NBA's best against the spread (46-28-1) and ride into Chicago on a four-game win streak, fresh off thumping Philadelphia 127-109 behind RJ Barrett's 31-point explosion.

The contrast in styles couldn't be more apparent — Chicago's high-powered offense (6th in NBA at 117.3 ppg) against Toronto's stingier defense that's held its last four opponents under 110 points.

Keep your eyes on Coby White leading the Bulls' attack with 20.3 ppg, while Josh Giddey's all-around game (14.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 7.0 assists) gives Chicago multiple playmaking threats.

Toronto counters with Barrett's team-leading 21.5 ppg and an efficient attack that ranks seventh in both three-point and free throw percentage.

The Bulls have stumbled lately, dropping their last two games including an embarrassing 145-117 beatdown from Oklahoma City where Jevon Carter's 17 points led a team that looked completely outmatched.

Look, Chicago might be favored by the bookies, but don't be shocked if the Raptors — playing with nothing to lose and covering spreads like it's their job — make this way closer than the oddsmakers think.
