Timberwolves vs. Bulls Prediction and Pick
The number one thing that stands out to me in this game is the total. At 240, this is the highest total we've seen all season long in any matchup. There's been three games that closed with an over/under at at least 238 -- one layup within this total -- and the over is 2-1 in those games. While I understand why it's this high, I have to take the under.
The Bulls have the second-worst defensive rating in the league over the last five games. Although the Timberwolves just allowed 132 points to the Sacramento Kings, they are defending at an average level over the last week and some change.
Both teams are potent offensively, but I just can't put my faith that 240 will be hit.
Lean: UNDER 240 (-110)
