Bulls vs. Timberwolves Odds & Betting Predictions - February 6, 2025

10 potential assists last game in just 14 minutes is what stood out to me. The rookie is starting to be featured more off the bench and without Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo, he’s been given the keys to be a floor general in non-Ant Minutes. Last game we saw a preview of what the rotation will look like. Rob was the direct substitute for Conley, and brought the ball up on almost all possessions in the 8 combined minutes to start Q2 and Q4 while Ant was resting. This will be the time period where ideally he racks up his assists. According to CourtIQ, with Gobert ON (he’s needed to mask Rob’s defense) and Ant, Conley, Randle, & Donte OFF, Dillingham has a 54.17% Assist Rate, which is the highest and biggest jump compared to anyone on the team. I think tonight with how the Bulls defend guards with Lonzo & Ayo .. the connection between Rob and Gobert will be crucial and a point of attack. Over the L12 games, the Bulls are allowing the 6th most assists per game but most importantly, the 2nd most coming at the rim per PBPStats. Blowout would be great too and could give more minutes if Conley rests early. #PlayerProps

Gobert destroys Vucevic. Gobert has hit this line in 11 consecutive matchups and 14/15 against Vucevic where he’s played 30+ minutes. This season when these teams met he had a 21 and 9 game which was the first game he didn’t record a Double Double against him since 2020. Over the last few seasons he is averaging 32.8 PR in 6 matchups. Couple this individual matchup history with the fact that the Bulls have been an absolute sieve to Centers and this is a line we have to take. They play at the third-fastest Pace in the league and Gobert should eat.

The Chicago Bulls will be playing their third game in four nights which is always a spot to watch for on the hardcourt. Tired legs lead to unders and blowouts. Not only will the Bulls be on this tight schedule they’ll be fresh off a back to back where they have to travel to the Timberwolves. To make matters worse the Bulls just traded their best player in Zach Lavine for three role players - and rumors are swirling they are likely to flip two of the three. Not only will they be down a man (their best player), they’ll also be down the trade pieces they just acquired. Best case scenario Zach Collins or Tre play some minutes, but they have zero knowledge of the system and have no chemistry with the team yet! The Timberwolves have not been the team we saw last year, they are just 4-17 ATS as a home favorite but we have seen some sparks on the court lately. When they play bad teams they seem to beat up on them. Ironically beating this Bulls team on the road by 16. The Wolves are in the midst of a 5 game home stretch and are currently 0-2 against the WIZARDS and a Foxless kings squad. This team has to get up and bounce back with rest against a tired Bulls team who just lost their leader. Timberwolves 124 Bulls 112
