The Minnesota Timberwolves will entertain the Chicago Bulls in their next piece of NBA action. They enter this game with the seventh-best record in the Western Conference, whereas the Bulls are 10th in the East. Below is our prediction for this match.

The Timberwolves have lost their last two games. Before this dip in form, they had won five in a row. Chris Finch’s men suffered a shock 105-103 defeat at home to the lowly Wizards, who were on a 16-match losing streak.

They would then lose another close battle 116-114 to the visiting Kings. The recent defeats have seen them pegged back in the race for an automatic playoff spot. The T-wolves have compiled a 27-23 record and are one game behind the top six.

The Bulls have lacked consistency this season. They have compiled an unimpressive 22-29 record and have lost nine times in their last 13 games.

In that stretch, they haven’t won back-to-back fixtures. Billy Donovan’s men, who are one game above their closest challengers for the final play-in spot, are, however, coming off a win.

Chicago defeated visiting Miami 133-124 in their first game after trading leading scorer Zach LaVine to the Sacramento Kings. The Bulls have won 12 road games but have also been defeated 13 times when away from home.
