Minnesota Timberwolves vs Chicago Bulls Prediction

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been the more impressive team throughout the preseason, and their only loss was a hard fought effort from the Knicks. The Timberwolves have won 7 of their last 8 preseason games overall. The Chicago Bulls aren’t shooting the ball well from anywhere on the floor, and that’s going to be a problem if that continues in this spot. I’ll lay the reasonable number with the Timberwolves, as the Bulls play at the moment isn’t all that inspiring.
