T.M. Selection: Toronto Raptors.

I like the Toronto Raptors to cover the spread against the Chicago Bulls in this game on Monday. The Raptors didn't play well at all in their 1st home game of the season but they have looked a lot better in their last 2 games. They went into Boston and destroyed them getting their 1st win of the year and then they came home and lost to the Mavericks but they had a real chance to win that game and were leading in the 1st half. They have not won a game at home yet and they will be at home again for this game. I expect them to make a big push here and secure their 1st home win of the season for their fans. The Bulls have come out swinging this season and are undefeated through 3 games. They have not played anyone that special though with 2 wins coming against the Pistons and 1 against the Pelicans who are hurting in the absence of Zion. In the 1st road game for the Bulls they were down in that game and had to make a comeback against Detroit. The Raptors are going to be the best team that the Bulls have faced so far and I think the Raptors will try very hard to give the Bulls their 1st loss of the season, especially with DeRozan on the Bulls who spent many years playing for the Raptors. I like the Raptors to cover the spread in this game that I think they have a good chance of taking the win here.

T.M. Prediction: 106-102 Raptors.
