Toronto Raptors vs Chicago Bulls Prediction & Picks, October 21, 2026

For Norman Powell to score under 19.5 points and assists tonight, he needs to have a quiet game. He often plays better at home, but his recent numbers suggest he may struggle. Powell averages 2.9 assists at home, which isn't a huge number, and he hasn't been scoring like he used to. The Toronto Raptors allow a lot of three-point attempts, but they also force turnovers, which could limit Powell's chances. The Chicago Bulls have similar trends, making this matchup quite balanced. The biggest risk is that Powell could have one of those breakout nights, but the overall signs point to him staying under that total.

Toronto Raptors vs Chicago Bulls: Jamal Shead Over 5.5 Points (-132)

Jamal Shead needs to score more than 5.5 points tonight against the Chicago Bulls. The Raptors give up a lot of chances on defense, which gives players like Shead a good shot to get some easy points. Plus, the Bulls let opponents take a lot of three-pointers, which could help Shead find his rhythm. The numbers say Shead is likely to hit this mark since the Bulls give up many rebounds, allowing second-chance points. However, he will need to perform well against a team that also has a decent defense. If he can get into the groove early, he should have a good chance to score enough.

Toronto Raptors vs Chicago Bulls: Immanuel Quickley Under 12.5 Points (+185)

For tonight, we need Immanuel Quickley to score less than 12.5 points against the Chicago Bulls. This bet looks solid because both the Raptors and Bulls struggle to keep points down. The Raptors allow a fair number of three-point attempts and rebounds, which can mean more scoring chances for the Bulls, but Quickley may not get many of those chances. Quickley's numbers show he's been averaging around 5 assists at home and a bit more on the road, pointing to him being more of a playmaker than a scorer. Plus, with the game being close, he might not get enough time on the court to hit that 12.5 mark. The biggest risk is that Chicago can score quickly, which could push Quickley to take more shots than usual.
