10* OVER Bulls/Raptors (PLAY-IN TOY)

We have two really defensive-minded clubs here, but that fact has only helped in driving this O/U line a few points lower than it normally would/should be in my opinion. Public perception has also driven the opening number down as well. But with the majority going one way, we're going to go the other on this one. Toronto plays much better at home than on the road, as the Raptors are 27-14 North of the border. The Bulls are just 18-23 on the road, and they're going to have to match pace with the home side in this one. Of course, the other interesting factor is DeMar DeRozan playing a possible "revenge" game as well here in Toronto for the Bulls. Chicago lost both regular season games here, but in what I expect to be a faster-paced affair than what the oddsmakers are trying to lead us to believe, I expect this total to fly "over" the number sooner, rather than later!
