Chicago Bulls vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction 2-6-24 Picks

The Minnesota Timberwolves travel to the United Center to do battle with the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night. Here’s a Timberwolves vs Bulls Prediction.

Minnesota Timberwolves

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been in pretty good shape as they’ve won five of their last seven games overall and they will be looking to stay hot after blowing past the Rockets in a 111-90 win on Sunday. Anthony Edwards led the team with 32 points on 11 of 22 shooting, Rudy Gobert added 17 points with 13 rebounds and four blocks while Karl-Anthony Towns chipped in with 14 points and 10 rebounds. As a team, the Timberwolves shot 44 percent from the field and 11 of 30 from the 3-point line as they took the narrow lead into halftime despite scoring just 17 points in the second quarter, before they poured in 63 points in the second half to run away with it and improve to 19-5 at home this season.

Chicago Bulls

Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls have been in decent shape as they’ve split their last eight games, but they will be hoping to bounce back in this one after coming up short to the Kings in a 123-115 loss on Saturday. Coby White led the team with 26 points, six rebounds and four assists, Nikola Vucevic and DeMar DeRozan each scored 24 points while Ayo Dosunmu chipped in with 18 points and five assists. As a team, the Bulls shot 46 percent from the field and 11 of 34 from the 3-point line, but they didn’t play their usual brand of defense in the first half and fell behind by as many as 30 points before they went on a run in the second half to get within three points with 58.2 seconds left on the clock. The Bulls will take on the Grizzlies after this one.

Timberwolves vs Bulls Prediction

The Timberwolves are still without Jaylen Clark, while the Bulls are missing Zach LaVine and they are keeping an eye on Alex Caruso who is questionable with a left adductor strain. The Bulls showed plenty of fight to cut a 30-point deficit to just three points in their loss to the Kings on Saturday, but it’s the Timberwolves who come into this one as the favorites, especially given the injuries the Bulls are currently dealing with. This should be a close contest, but the Timberwolves played well in their big win over the Rockets and I think they can stay hot with another win here.
