Chicago is no pushover despite injuries and trades, sitting in the No. 4 seed in the East. Defense and rebounding are their calling cards, two things that don't vanish when players work hard -- and their demanding coach demands those things every night, especially on the road. The Bulls are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 road games, 6-0 ATS against the Eastern Conference. Chicago has won three in a row and four of five after coasting to a 92-76 home win over Brooklyn on Thursday. That winning streak has been spurred by superb defensive play, as the Bulls yielded an average of 82.3 points -- 10.0 better than their season mark which ranks second in the NBA.  Toronto also plays great defense which means you can expect a slow one when these teams meet. Notice that the road team is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings and the underdog is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Play the Chicago Bulls.
