Minnesota off to a solid start
The Minnesota Timberwolves have advanced to at least the Western Conference semifinals in three consecutive seasons and are playing without leading scorer Anthony Edwards.

Chicago Bulls vs Minnesota Timberwolves Picks and Prediction
Pick: Minnesota Timberwolves
Chicago rookie F Caleb Wilson suffered a hand injury earlier this week and is expected to miss four-to-six weeks. These two squads split last season’s series, with the Bulls scoring an unlikely 120-115 road victory against the Timberwolves. Minnesota has covered 11 of their first 12 games by an average of close to 12 points. Take the Timberwolves to cover the big number at home.
Pick: Over
Chicago is playing at the fastest tempo in the league and Minnesota ranks 21st in that category. The Bulls are last in the NBA in defensive efficiency and have surrendered 124 points or more in their previous eight losses. The Bulls are playing on consecutive nights and the Timberwolves should have an advantage with an extra day of rest. Take the over.
Final Score Prediction: Minnesota Timberwolves win 133-116
