Try PointsBet’s “Request Your Bet” feature — You name it, they’ll price it.With the Eastern Conference postseason picture painted, framed, and hung on the wall since late last week, books opened Toronto between -4.5 and -5 at home. That spread has climbed to as high as Raptors -5.5 as the industry consensus on Wednesday morning.
As mentioned, Toronto has been a moneymaker inside Scotiabank Arena this season, with a home net rating of +4.5 vs. a road metric of -1.6. The Raptors see a slight uptick in offense as hosts but it’s the defensive end that really gets a boost from playing in Ontario.Article content Toronto has allowed the second-fewest points at home since the All-Star break, checking visitors to just 108.6 points over those 23 games. Some of those results have to do with softer scoring opposition coming to Canada in that span as well as the Raptors’ commitment to protecting the perimeter .
The Bulls have also got the job done on the defensive end. Chicago closed the post-break schedule with the best advanced defensive rating in the land and that stingy play traveled with the team as well. The Bulls posted a net rating of +6.8 on the road in the final 11 away games, going 8-3 SU and 6-4-1 ATS.
These clubs last clashed in late February with Toronto taking a 104-98 win as 3.5-point home chalk. Chicago shot 52% from the floor but coughed the ball up 20 times, which led to 21 points off turnovers for the Raptors. The Bulls held a 2-point lead heading into the fourth quarter but were outscored 34-26 in those final 12 minutes.Article content
