Bulls vs. Timberwolves Prediction and Odds (Back UNDER With DeRozan, LaVine, Towns Out)
By Peter Dewey
There is essentially nothing on the line on Sunday in the Minnesota Timberwolves-Chicago Bulls matchup, and just about everyone you can think of is sitting this one out.
Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, Nikola Vucevic and Alex Caruso are all out for the Bulls while Coby White is doubtful.
For the Wolves, Karl-Anthony Towns is out, D’Angelo Russell is questionable and it’s hard to see the team playing much of anyone, as the Wolves are locked into the No. 7 seed in the West.

Bulls vs. Timberwolves Prediction and Pick
It’s extremely tough to handicap a game with so many key players out, but I’m going to take the UNDER in this matchup as both teams are going to be without their top offensive weapons.
Anthony Edwards may put on a show for the Wolves if he plays, but it’s hard to see him playing much with the play-in tournament right around the corner.
For what it’s worth, the Bulls are just 25th in the NBA in offensive rating over their last 10 games, and now they are down their top four scorers.
I don’t mind taking a shot at the Bulls’ team total under at 111.5 (-115), but I like the UNDER for the game as well.
Lean: Bulls Team Total UNDER 111.5 (-115) | UNDER 229.5 (-108)
