(NBA) Timberwolves (MIN) vs. Bulls (CHI),
Point Spread: 8.50 | -105.00 Bulls (CHI) (Home)
Result: Loss
The Timberwolves are coming into this game with a 4-3 record this season. They have been playing better in their recent games as they have won 2 of their last 3 and they are coming off of a win against the Hornets in their last game, but they have struggled more on the road this season. Only 2 of their 4 wins this season have been by 10+ points and both of those games were at home. Their other 2 wins were both within 3 points against the Kings and the Raptors. They also lost their last road game to the Spurs 113-103 and they have lost 2 of their 3 road games this season, their only road win this year coming by 2 points in Sacramento while their 2 losses were both by 7+ points and were games where they scored just 103 points. They are going up against a Bulls team that is 3-5 this season and has not been playing well in their recent games. They have lost their last 3 straight games and they are coming off of a 20 point loss in Dallas in their last game, playing this game on a B2B now, but they are back at home for this game and they will be hungry to bounce back from their losing streak back at home, especially after that awful performance. Zach LaVine has missed some time for this team but there is a chance that he plays in this game and that will be a big boost to this lineup. Even without him though, the Bulls can keep this game close at home with the way the Timberwolves have struggled more on the road this season, specifically with their scoring. The Bulls will cover the spread in this game.
