Game preview, injury report, betting odds, and how to watch Bulls vs Timberwolves.

The Chicago Bulls travel to Minnesota on Wednesday to finish out the second half of a back to back against the Timberwolves.

The Chicago Bulls (22-29) recently secured a 133-124 victory over the Miami Heat (24-24) on Tuesday, which marked the arrival of rookie Matas Buzelis. Buzelis concluded the game with a career-high 24 points, achieving 100% shooting accuracy from 10 attempts. Notably, Buzelis became the first rookie in the Bulls franchise history to score 20 points on 100% shooting.

Conversely, the Minnesota Timberwolves (27-23) experienced a setback on Monday after losing their previous game to the Sacramento Kings (25-24) 118-116. As the Bulls embark on their new era, they seek to establish momentum, while the Timberwolves strive to regain their footing. 

This Wednesday marks the second and concluding meeting between the Bulls and Timberwolves this season. In their previous encounter, the Timberwolves emerged victorious with a score of 135-119. The Bulls will endeavor to rectify the disparity in the season series, while the Timberwolves aim to secure a sweep.

Key Math Up

Edwards is one of the most promising emerging superstars in the NBA. He is averaging 26.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game, while shooting an impressive 42 percent from beyond the arc on 9.8 attempts per game. Dosunmu will face an arduous challenge in attempting to hinder Edwards’ progress. Dosunmu has been the Bulls’ most effective perimeter defender, alongside Lonzo Ball. Dosunmu’s defensive prowess will be pivotal in preventing Edwards and the Timberwolves from gaining an overwhelming advantage in Wednesday’s matchup.
