The Bulls will look to make a statement in their second game of the season. Chicago already had a closed-door players only meeting after game 1. I expect them to come out with more energy and motivation tonight. They have plenty of scoring potential and was one of the league's best defensive squads last yr ranking in the top ten in points allowed and opponent shooting percentage.

As long as the Bulls make an impact in the paint, they'll have much more success from long range than they had in game one only 28%. I am confident that will be the case, as Chicago has too many talented players to shoot under 30 percent from deep. Expect DeRozan and LaVine to get the most out of the Bulls on Friday, leading to a win and cover for the home team over Toronto who isn't the same Raptors teams as years past. Billy Donovan is a good coach and he'll have the team prepared here.
Bulls win and cover on Friday night!
