Why the Raptors can cover
Toronto is coming off a 114-104 loss to Miami on Thursday. RJ Barrett struggled from the floor in the contest, shooting 5-for-18, but he did manage a triple-double with 13 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Meanwhile, Gradey Dick led the team with 22 points.
Scottie Barnes (ankle) and Immanuel Quickley (elbow) have both been out long-term and will once again miss Monday’s contest. However, Barrett has stepped up in their absence, averaging 23.2 points, 6.8 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game (all career-highs). Toronto has covered the spread in five of six games.

Why the Bulls can cover
The Bulls scored a 109-95 win over the Hornets on Friday as 5.5-point favorites, and now they’ll be favored again on Monday. It’s the first time all season that Chicago has been favored two games in a row, and the Bulls will be hoping to carry some momentum over with wins in three of five.
Chicago had six players reach double-figures in the win over Charlotte despite the fact that Nikola Vucevic missed the game with illness. Vucevic is listed as probable to return on Monday, but Zach LaVine (leg) is listed as questionable. See which team to pick here.
