Minnesota Timberwolves vs Chicago Bulls prediction

The Chicago Bulls have fallen into this inconsistent funk where you're just never sure which team is going to show up, and they remain banged up. Not only is LaVine out for the year, but White is dealing with an ankle issue and Caruso is questionable. The Minnesota Timberwolves are one of the healthier teams in the league, and their defense should be able to bottle up a Bulls' offense that's not great to begin with. The line is more than reasonable. Give me the Minnesota Timberwolves in a comfortable road victory.
