Chicago Bulls +5.5 Point Spread (-112)

Zach LaVine Over 2.5 Made Threes (+100)

Fred VanVleet to Score 20+ Points (+115)

Parlay odds: +672

Chicago Bulls +5.5 Point Spread (-112)

Atlanta’s 11-point win last night will be an eye opener for the likes of Chicago and Oklahoma City, giving them hope that anything is possible in scenarios where the winner takes all. It hasn’t been the best of years for the Bulls so far, but that’s all mainly due to injuries. They were able to get hot towards the end of the regular season winning 4 of their last 6 overall and 8 of their last 10 on the road. Toronto did win both meetings at Scotiabank Arena, but Chicago still holds an edge with a 7-3 ATS/SU record in head-to-head meetings. DeMar DeRozan will be extra motivated to take out his former team, him and Zach LaVine have really played well during this hot stretch. Toronto is an impressive 11-1 SU in their last 12 home games, but this team has lacked consistency for long stretches this season, they too have dealt with a lot of setbacks due to injuries. Fred VanVleet and OG Anunoby both have knocks they’re dealing with and I just feel like the Bulls have the advantage in the back court here. Chicago should have enough to cover the spread.

Wednesday’s NBA Mega Parlay has +1108 odds!

Zach LaVine Over 2.5 Made Threes (+100)

After 3 consecutive games with just 1 three made, LaVine is looking to turn things around and there’s no better opponent to do it against than the Toronto Raptors. Teams are making 37.4% of shots from the perimeter against the Raptors this season which ranks them 28th in the NBA with only Portland and San Antonio being worse. It gets slightly better in home games at 36.9%, but that ranks them still in the bottom 10 of the NBA. LaVine is one of those rare players that average more threes made with a higher efficiency on the road than at home. He has made at least 3 threes in 4 of 7 meetings with Toronto, and with DeRozan garnering all the attention on offense he might go under the radar a bit here which should help a lot reaching 3 threes. In 2 games played vs Toronto this season he’s shooting the three-ball at a respectable 38.5%, so I’m hoping that translates well into tonight’s game as well.

Fred VanVleet to Score 20+ Points (+115)

Being in a contract year means that Fred VanVleet will go all out in this game to prove his worth to the team as he tried to sign another long term deal. Getting the Raptors into the postseason would defiantly help his cause, but I’m not basing my optimism just on that. VanVleet has been stellar in 2 of 3 games he’s played the Bulls this season, scoring 30 and 27 points while also making 5 and 6 threes respectively. He might not have the size required to slow down LaVine or DeRozan, but he does have the speed and can hit the three-ball which means the Bulls will have to keep a close eye on him. Prior to the last 3 games of the regular season where he was dealing with a minor injury, he was able to clear the 20 point line 4 times in 7 games. With the Raptors season on the line I think he comes up big here.
