3 Best NBA Prop Bets for Raptors vs. Bulls (Scottie Barnes Continues to Impress)
By Matt De Saro
The Chicago Bulls are coming off a rough road trip and hope to find some success against the Toronto Raptors at the Uniter Center.
Let’s take a look at some prop odds for this showdown, courtesy of WynnBET Sportsbook.
3 Best Prop Bets for Raptors vs. Bulls
- Nikola Vucevic OVER 16.5 Points (-125)
- Fred VanVleet OVER 20.5 Points (-105)
- Scottie Barnes 30+ Points + Assists + Rebounds (+125)
Nikola Vucevic OVER 16.5 Points (-125)
The Raptors are on the second half of a back-to-back and I think Nikola Vucevic and company make the most of that fatigue. This is a road game for Toronto to boot.
Meanwhile, Vucevic has been unstoppable on the boards and is scoring nearly 20 points per game this month. While Vucevic has gone under this total in his last two games, he went over in every other game he started this month. Vucevic has already dominated Toronto and scored 30 points with 18 rebounds the last time these two teams met.
Fred VanVleet OVER 20.5 Points (-105)
Fred VanVleet was given the night off on Sunday and will be the most rested starter on the court for Toronto. He is averaging over 21 points per game on the year and has 20-plus in three of his last five games.
He has been dealing with some knee soreness, but the night off should help a lot. Additionally, his legs are fresh and the Raptors might need to rely on him a bit more than usual. If he gets hot from deep, this prop could go over quickly.
Scottie Barnes 30+ Points + Assists + Rebounds (+125)
February’s Rookie of the Month has shown no signs of slowing down and is making a case for Rookie of the Year.
Scottie Barnes is averaging 18.9 points, four assists, and 8.6 rebounds per game. All of those are improvements of last month and his average figures are more than enough to put him over this total. The Bulls don’t have a good defensive matchup for Barnes, and I expect another big evening for the rookie.
