Saturday's analysis and tables below:
All 1 unit ratings this Saturday on the NBA card. However, I have identified one opportunity I like best among them.
TOR -2 at CHI
The Raptors (24-11) returned home on Thursday with a nice 101-93 win over Utah. This was after a middling 3-3 Western road swing. Both Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan are playing at an all-star level.
The Bulls (18-18) beat the beast of the East Cavaliers, although Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love did not play for CLE, for their 2nd straight win on Thursday. Jimmy Butler is averaging 25.2 ppg for CHI.
I find it difficult to see Chicago beating Cleveland an Toronto back-to-back. The Raptors are clearly the 2nd best team in the East and should be at full strength. I believe they'll win outright and easily cover the relatively small number.
The FSI rates it TOR -5.33.
Good luck, players!
