Bulls vs Timberwolves

another should-be-even matchup Bulls need to take advantage of.

The Bulls declined to apply for a disabled player exemption this season to replace Ball, presumably due to the aforementioned cheapness/laziness (it would have allowed them to sign a replacement player for up to half of Ball’s contract during the season). Given how rough the reports have been about Lonzo’s recovery from his second knee surgery (remember how he couldn’t walk up stairs without pain?), we have to consider that outcome at least a possibility.

We go over some of the best betting options for Friday's matchup between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Chicago Bulls.

Tonight’s game should be a shootout, but I’m betting on Edwards on the Timberwolves to cover. Both teams have trouble defending the perimeter, and could be without their biggest impact defenders. Chicago is -145 on the moneyline, while the Timberwolves are +125. Still, I’m backing the Timberwolves because of Anthony Edwards. The total comes in at 224.5. Austin Rivers (back), Naz Reid (calf) and Rudy Gobert (ankle) are all questionable.
