The underdog covered the spread in each of the first two games of this year’s NBA play-in tournament.
O.G. Anunoby #3 of the Toronto Raptors is guarded by DeMar DeRozan #11 of the Chicago BullsEntering this season, the Raptors were everyone’s favorite sleeper pick after winning 48 games a year ago, while the Bulls were seemingly doomed for regression after a 46-win campaign of their own.
These teams were separated by just one point in their three meetings this season, with Chicago scoring a 14-point win in November but losing the other two games by a combined 15 points. In fact, Chicago has clearly been the better team since the All-Star break, outscoring opponents by 5.7 points per 100 possessions – ranking third behind only 2022 finalists Boston and Golden State – across a 14-9 stretch that helped turn this team’s season around.The Raptors have been one of the NBA’s best bets at home, boasting the league’s second-best ATS record with a decent net rating in friendly confines.
