Raptors Game Tonight: Raptors vs Bulls Odds, Starting Lineup, Injury Report, Predictions, TV Channel for Dec. 22

The Toronto Raptors were finally going to face off against DeMar DeRozan and the Chicago Bulls for the second time this season, but some unfortunate new COVID-19 developments crippled Toronto’s hopes. The latest Raptors odds look extremely grim.

The Raptors forced seven players into the health and safety protocols over the last four days, including starters like Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, and Scottie Barnes. With Justin Champagnie and David Johnson inactive due to illness and injury and Goran Dragic away from the team, Toronto is comically thin.

While the league is postponing games left and right for teams that are short on players, Toronto is being forced to play with a bunch of replacement players that might not be on the team when everyone heals up.

Will the Raptors get pounded into oblivion by a Bulls team that has names like DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic at their disposal? Will Toronto pull off one of the most improbable regular-season upsets we’ve seen in years?

Chicago Bulls vs Toronto Raptors Odds, Spread, Over/Under

The latest odds from WynnBET have Chicago as -10.5 favorites against the spread, with this squad -110 (bet $110 to win $100) to cover. Chicago is -550 on the moneyline, while Toronto checks at +420 (bet $100 to win $350).

The over-under in this contest is 211.5, with the under coming in at -110 and the over also listed at -110. Vegas is clearly expecting the Bulls to pummel Toronto into submission.

Raptors Injury Report

The only active players that were on the roster prior to Monday are Khem Birch, OG Anunoby, Svi Mykhailiuk, Yuta Watanabe, and Isaac Bonga. Everyone else is either injured, in the protocol, or sick. Lovely.

Toronto Raptors vs Chicago Bulls Prediction

What are you honestly expecting here? Even if everyone was healthy, the Raptors would’ve been massive underdogs against the Bulls despite the fact that they are missing names like Zach LaVine. When half of their active roster is a taxi squad, winning is almost impossible.

Toronto will need a minor miracle to take home the win in this game, as they will be leaning on players who have never practiced with the team to pick up a road victory against one of the East’s best. Simply put, that isn’t happening barring some nearly divine intervention.

Bulls 114, Raptors 93
