Why Bet on Toronto Raptors?

Playing without injured starters Jakob Poeltl, RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley (all in question Tuesday), the Raptors lost their fifth game in a row Sunday, 125-125 in Atlanta as Saddiq Bey dunked in Trae Young’s miss with 1.1 seconds left. The Raptors had taken a one-point lead when a turnover in the backcourt led to a dunk by Scottie Barnes with seven seconds remaining.

Barnes has also now scored 10+ points in 10 fourth quarters this season which marks a career-high (recorded nine last season). He has scored 290 points in the final frame this season which is fourth best in the NBA.

“When I turned it over, I knew I was going to get a chance to help my team,” Hawks star Trae Young said. “I felt bad. I was dumb for making a mistake at the end. I should have called timeout when I didn’t have anywhere to go. It is nobody’s fault but mine.”

Toronto’s bench outscored the Hawks bench by 46 points (56-to-10) on Sunday marking the largest point differential for the Raptors since Apr. 10, 2022 at New York (+48; 55-to-7). The nine three point field goals recorded by the Raptors’ reserves against the Hawks also matched a season high (last: Nov. 19 vs. Detroit).

“When this situation arises (with three starters out), it is an opportunity for another player,” Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic said of Nwora. “I look at it that way. We will try our best to compete in every game.”

Toronto enters Tuesday having dished out 25+ assists in 29 consecutive games, which is the longest active streak in the NBA and ties the Portland Trail Blazers for the second longest streak in a single-season in NBA history. The 1984-85 Los Angeles Lakers own the league record at 30 consecutive games.

Why Bet on Chicago Bulls?

The Bulls snapped a two-game skid on Sunday with a 104-96 win in Portland to finish a road trip while playing without the injured Zach LaVine and Patrick Williams. Neither is expected Tuesday. The Bulls, who were never able to extend their lead by more than 11 points and made just eight of 32 3-point attempts, relied on defense for the victory.

“I really thought we tried to share the ball,” Bulls coach Billy Donovan said. “I think 27 assists on the number of threes that we generated, that we just didn’t shoot the ball very well. But I give the guys credit, we hung in there defensively.”

Andre Drummond (4,504) became the fifth active center and the 37th center of all-time to reach 4,500 field goals made Sunday with six against Portland. Drummond connected on 6-of-11 (.546) shots and finished with 15 points. Guard Alex Caruso has recorded one or more blocks in a career-best 13-straight games (12/30–1/28). This marks the longest such active streak in the NBA and the longest by any NBA guard or forward this season.
