Timberwolves at Bulls picks and predictions
Prediction
Timberwolves 119, Bulls 116
PASS.
Avoid this play. The Timberwolves (-250) should win outright, but are too expensive to consider, especially on the road.
BET BULLS +6.5 (-110).
Chicago has been rewarding bettors as of late, and its defense has been the main reason why. The Bulls have allowed 114 points or fewer in 4 of their last 7 contests. They have covered in 4 straight games as an underdog.
The Timberwolves suffered arguably their most disappointing defeat of the season, losing by 16 at home against the Nets. They are 1-3 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite and have scored 115 points or fewer in 5 of their last 6 games. Expect them to struggle to pull away.
Take BULLS +6.5 (-110).
BET UNDER 241.5 (-110).
Both sides are trending toward the Under. The Timberwolves, who should be one of the better defensive teams in the NBA, are 2-5 O/U in their last 7 contests.
The Bulls have gone Under in 3 straight games and in 5 of their last 7 contests. They have scored 109 points or fewer in 5 of their last 10 games. Back UNDER 241.5 (-110).
