The Raptors host the Bulls in Toronto on Monday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Chicago is favored by two points and this game’s total is set at 240.5 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite RJ Barrett prop to consider from this contest.

Best RJ Barrett Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

RJ Barrett O 32.5 Points + Assists (-110)

Coming off his second triple-double of the season, Barrett should have another strong performance Monday. Scottie Barnes (ankle) and Immanuel Quickley (elbow) remain sidelined, and with these two players off the court this season, Barrett leads the Raptors in usage (32.2%) and assist rate (30.9%), both of which are notable upgrades from his averages.

Barrett has been a far more productive player at home this season. In his four home starts with both Barnes and Quickley inactive, he has been brilliant, with 31.3 points and 6.3 assists per game. The wing cleared 32.5 P+A in three of these four contests and on the menu for Monday is a gorgeous matchup vs. the Bulls.

Chicago ranks third in pace and 27th in defensive efficiency this season, and this game’s 240.5-point total on DraftKings Sportsbook is both the largest total the Raptors have seen this season and the highest total of Monday’s six-game NBA slate.

In this elite setting, Barrett is an outstanding bet to top his 32.5 PA combo line.
