Chicago Bulls at Minnesota Timberwolves Preview & Picks

Chicago are tipped to cover as a double digit underdog in Minnesota.

The Bulls have been maddeningly inconsistent, but this is a lot of points for Timberwolves team who have lost the last two and have rarely covered when favored by 10 or more points.

  • Minnesota Timberwolves are 1-10-1 ATS in their last 12 home games
  • Minnesota Timberwolves are 2-5-0 ATS as a double digit favorite
  • Chicago Bulls are 5-2-0 ATS in the last 7 meetings with Minnesota
  • The Over has cashed in 8 of the previous 9 meetings

Head To Head

  • Chicago Bulls lead the all-time series 39-29
  • Minnesota Timberwolves won 135-119 when the two teams last met on November 7

Chicago Bulls Form

Chicago head to Minnesota looking to follow up last night's victory over the Heat in Miami.

The Bulls lost five straight after the 138-105 blowout of Washington, before finally ending that skid with a 112-99 win at the LA Clippers.

They failed to follow that up though, as they lost 131-106 at Golden State and 109-97 at home to Philadelphia, but they did avoid a third straight loss with a 129-121 upset of Denver.

Chicago went out on the road after that to lose 122-100 in Boston, before moving on to Toronto to down the Raptors, 122-106.

The Bulls then fell to a 127-119 defeat in Detroit last weekend, but 24 hours after trading Zach LaVine  to Sacramento they took down Miami at home, 133-24

Minnesota Timberwolves Form

Minnesota go into this game with Chicago looking to rebound from back-to-back losses.

The Timberwolves ended January on a five-game win streak that started with a 115-114 road win in Dallas.

They then returned home to down Denver, 133-104, before beating Atlanta 100-92 to make it three-in-a-row.

Minnesota’s good form continued when they went back out on the road, as they beat Phoenix 121-113 and won 138-113 in Utah.

However, the Timberwolves cooled off after that, returning home for a 105-103 loss to Washington and a 116-114 defeat to Sacramento.

Verdict

Chicago remain on a rollercoaster run of form, but we like them with plenty of free points in this one.

The Bulls have a good recent spread record against Minnesota, who have covered in just one of the last 12 at home and in just two of the last seven as a double digit favorite.
