While the Twolves are a game above .500, they are only 2-5 against the spread early in the Julius Randle era. The good news is that they played arguably their best game of the season last time out, beating up on the Hornets in Charlotte (114-93), easily covering as 11-point road favorites. In a rarity, Naz Reid led Minnesota in scoring with 25 points off the bench against Charlotte. Anthony Edwards had 21 while Randle scored just 13 in 25 minutes.
The Bulls, on the other hand, have lost three in a row, the last two by double-digits. Last night, Dallas routed Chicago 119-99 at the United Center. The Mavs had an eight-point lead after one quarter and never looked back, building a 20-point gap by the end of the third. Nikola Vucevic had a team-high with just 14 points for the Bulls.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs Chicago Bulls Prediction
The Bulls have covered in all of their straight-up victories this season, and lost against the number in all of their SU setbacks. With the Timberwolves still struggling to find their footing with Randle replacing Karl Anthony-Towns, there is a good chance the Bulls get a game closer to .500 this evening. Minnesota’s Net Rating is just +2.5 (11th in the NBA), well below their +6.3 number from last year (which was third-best in the league).
Chicago’s three wins have come against decent competition: Milwaukee, Memphis, Orlando. Their ceiling is decently high, especially with LaVine in the lineup. I don’t expect the Bulls to win tonight, but I love the value on their moneyline at +340, which is just a 22.73% implied win probability.
MIN vs CHI pick: Bulls moneyline (+340)
