The Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors open up their Las Vegas Summer League schedule on Friday with a matchup against each other.
The Bulls didn't have a first-round pick this season thanks to the Nikola Vucevic trade, leaving their Summer League roster mainly composed of free agents. They do have last season's first-round selection Dalen Terry on the roster.
Meanwhile, the Raptors have lottery pick Gradey Dick set to make his debut alongside an interesting Summer League roster that features players who have had time in the NBA including Moses Brown and Joe Wieskamp.
Toronto is slightly favored in this game, but most of the lines for the Summer League action on Friday are within three points.
Let's examine the odds for this game and my best bet:
Bulls vs. Raptors odds, spread and total
Spread
- Bulls +1 (-110)
- Raptors -1 (-110)
Moneyline
- Bulls: -105
- Raptors: -115
Total
- 180.5 (Over -110/Under -110)
Bulls vs. Raptors prediction and pick
Dalen Terry has a chance to crack the rotation for the Bulls this season, and he seems to have made some serious strides in the offseason.
The Bulls have fringe NBA players such as Justin Lewis, Javon Freeman-Liberty and Daniel Oturu, but will that be enough to down this Raptors team?
Vegas has the Raps set as small favorites in this game, and given the fact that we haven't seen either team play, I'll take Toronto to win this matchup.
Pick: Raptors Moneyline (-115)
