Bulls vs Timberwolves prediction
The Bulls continue to be a hit or miss team that's hard to trust, and the fact they've covered just 3 of their last 10 games doesn't help their case. The Timberwolves are riding a nice 4-game winning streak, they're 26-9 SU at home, and they're in the driver's seat for the top seed in the West. The Timberwolves are a young team that thrives off confidence, and the juices should be flowing right now, especially after that upset win over the Nuggets. Assuming Edwards and Gobert play (both questionable), I'll lay the chalk with the Timberwolves at home.
