The Toronto Raptors come out of the All-Star break already with more wins than they had all of last season.
The next goal? Earn home-court advantage in an opening-round playoff matchup.
That means taking care of business when they are 5.5-point favorites, which is exactly what they are when they open the second half of the season by visiting the Chicago Bulls on Thursday, February 19.
My Raptors vs. Bulls predictions and NBA picks are focused on Immanuel Quickley, who will be key to taking the first step to achieving that goal.
Raptors vs Bulls prediction
Raptors vs Bulls best bet: Immanuel Quickley Over 2.5 3-pointers (-115)
There’s one Toronto Raptors player who wasn’t happy that the team went on break.
Immanuel Quickley was raining threes before the All-Star break, shooting a ridiculous 47.5% from beyond the arc over his last five games, hitting three or more threes in all five.
If there’s a team that IQ can stay hot against, it’s the Chicago Bulls. The Bulls rank dead-last in opponent 3P% and allow the sixth-most made threes per game.
That includes Quickley hitting three treys against the Bulls back on February 5. He drains three more on Thursday night.

Raptors vs Bulls same-game parlay
The Bulls also get burned by the extra pass. Chicago allows the fourth-most assists per possession this season.
RJ Barrett is my favorite candidate to go Over his assists prop, which is sitting at 3.5. Barrett is averaging 3.6 assists per game this season and has dished out four or more dimes in four of his last five games.
Toronto didn’t even have Barrett in the lineup when they last played the Bulls on February 5, where the Raps rolled over this remade Bulls roster 123-107 as 7.5-point faves. I expect something similar here.
