DeMar DeRozan is averaging 27.4 points and 5.1 assists, while Zach LaVine is averaging 24.9 points and 4.9 rebounds.

The Timberwolves are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The Bulls are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The over is 24-8 in Timberwolves last 32 overall. The over is 7-1 in Bulls last 8 overall. The Timberwolves are 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings.

I was originally considering the Minnesota Timberwolves in the underdog role, but they're a very banged up team right now that has Russell and Edwards currently listed as questionable. This line tells me those two probably aren't going to play. The Chicago Bulls remain competitive despite their injuries, and they win at home by an average of 4.5 points. The Bulls are also 18-9 against the spread at home. This line is reasonable, despite the public pounding the Bulls. Give me the Bulls and reasonable number.
