Do the Bulls stop their losing streak?

The Chicago Bulls welcome the Toronto Raptors on 22/03/2022 starting at 01:00. In the last direct duel, the home side and guests delivered a close game last month, which ended only in overtime in favor of the Canadians.

Chicago Bulls – statistics & current form

The basketballers from the Windy City acted little successful recently: only two of the last ten games they have won. The previous home dominance has also been lost: although the Bulls still rank second in the Eastern Conference home standings, they have lost two of their past three games on home turf.

Admittedly, the losses were against the top teams from Milwaukee and Memphis. One shortcoming continues to be poor defensive work, with the Chicago hoopsters ranking just 20th league-wide in that rating.

Toronto Raptors – Statistics & current form

The Raps have clearly stepped up of late and once again put themselves in position for a direct ticket to the postseason. One positive factor with the 2019 champions is rookie Scottie Barnes.

The small forward was picked fourth overall in the last draft. The 20-year-old has confirmed this high ranking and the associated advance praise with a very successful first season in the NBA.

In the penultimate game against the Lakers, he set a new career-best with 31 points and 17 rebounds in both categories. It is obvious that Barnes wants to place himself prominently in the fight for the title of the best rookie once again with particularly strong performances.

Chicago Bulls – Toronto Raptors Tip

For the duel between the Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors, the tip aims for a home win with at least four points in difference. Although the Canadians travel in a stable form, but unlike the opponent they have to play a back-to-back, as they already faced the Sixers last night.

The Game was won, giving them no less than their sixth away win in a row. However, it was a close encounter and took every ounce of energy. The hosts will also be very motivated: After three recent defeats, they are desperate to get back on track.
