The Bulls are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 road games and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The Timberwolves are 17-35 ATS in their last 52 home games and 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog. The under is 11-5 in Bulls last 16 overall. The under is 5-2 in Timberwolves last 7 home games. The Bulls are 0-6 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Minnesota and 3-8 ATS in the last 11 meetings.
The Chicago Bulls aren't nearly as attractive in the favorite role as they are as underdogs, but they are 18-7 against the spread on the road. The Minnesota Timberwolves are losing their last five games by an average of 4.8 points while allowing 50.5 percent shooting, and they lose at home by an average of seven points. It's hard to back the Timberwolves with confidence these days. I'll lay the reasonable chalk with the Bulls on the road.
