Minnesota Timberwolves vs Chicago Bulls Prediction: Minnesota will be highly motivated for this game

Prediction for the NBA Minnesota Timberwolves vs Chicago Bulls match will occur on February 6. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Minnesota Timberwolves

The Timberwolves are in the home straight. So far, Chris Finch's side has suffered two defeats in two games. First, Minnesota lost 103-105 to Washington, the last team in the Eastern Conference, which was only the Wizards' seventh win. Then, the Timberwolves lost 116-118 to Sacramento.

Despite this latest setback, Minnesota should still be considered a contender in the late rounds of the playoffs. In particular, the Wolves suffer from so-called close defeats. Minnesota is still seventh in the West with a 27-23 record but is only 1.0 wins away from a top-6 finish.

Chicago Bulls

The Bulls are back on the court for the second night. Yesterday, Billy Donovan's team hosted Miami on their home court, and despite the recent trade of leading scorer Zach LaVine to Sacramento, they put together a surprisingly strong offensive performance. 133-124 - Chicago had 35 assists, and four Bulls players scored 20 or more points. Matas Buzelis and Josh Giddey each had 24, Kobe White 22 and Ayo Dosunmu 21.

Chicago improved to 22-29 and remained tenth in the Eastern Conference. The Bulls are 1.0 wins adrift of 11th-placed Philadelphia.

H2H Stats

Minnesota won their first meeting with Chicago this season on the road, 135-119.

The Bulls were twice as strong as the Timberwolves last season.

Expert Betting Tips

Minnesota will be highly motivated for this game, losing two in a row by the narrowest of margins. This leaves Chicago with little chance of success, especially as Billy Donovan's side is also on a back-to-back. We're backing the Timberwolves to win convincingly and expect them to be very efficient—Chicago is second to last in defensive efficiency.
