Bulls vs Timberwolves Prediction
We hit on the Bulls yesterday, and they’re getting disrespected again with this line. The Bulls are going to get blown out a lot because they’re young and trying to figure things out, but you should be careful about laying double-digit chalk so much in the NBA. Even at the end of a back-to-back, this is a lot of points. With all of that said, the Timberwolves are 11-1 ATS on the season. The Timberwolves have covered seven straight games.
Sometimes in this line of work you blindly back the team that continues to cash tickets. That’s why we’re here. Don’t overthink things. Until the Timberwolves cool off, I’m going to continue to bet them. The Timberwolves have a cover percentage of 91.6 percent, which is comfortably the most profitable team in the NBA. I have to lay the points with the Timberwolves.
