Chicago Bulls vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction

The Chicago Bulls are an undermanned roster that’s on the end of a back-to-back and has to travel. On paper, the Minnesota Timberwolves should win comfortably at home with the rest advantage. However, the Bulls are coming off one of their best offensive performances of the season and the Timberwolves continue to play with their food. The Timberwolves just lost to the Wizards and Kings. The Timberwolves are also 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games as a double-digit favorite. The Timberwolves have outright lost twice as a double-digit favorite since November. I’m not laying this sort of number with the Timberwolves. Give me the Bulls and the boatload of points.
