Chicago Bulls vs Minnesota Timberwolves: Good game, with the home team unlikely to win

Both teams are ready to give us a matchup in which the intrigue will live long enough, and that's why it's hard to name a winner right now, which is why the odds for the game in favor of the home team look a little strange.

Chicago in February are giving out victories and losses in turn. In the six meetings played, the result is three for three. But it's worth noting that the team lost their last two home games.

Overall, Billy Donovan's team is back in second place in the East with 34 wins and 24 losses. Despite a two-game losing streak at the United Center, Chicago have won 19 of their 27 meetings at home on the season. So the visitors won't get an easy outing tonight.

After their last defeat in Sacramento, that's the definition for a team from Minneapolis that comes to mind. Losing a 132-119 meeting to a team from whom you picked up a 134-111 win just yesterday takes some doing.

Still, the Timberwolves are one of the most exciting teams of the season and have been on a five-game winning streak since the loss, so the desire to get back on track after that stumble will be enough motivation to play well on the road.

According to the bookmakers, the hosts are the favourites. But here, they are equal teams, with equal chances. Therefore, it is possible to take a risk and consider a win for the guests. Both teams have no problems in the attack, and therefore considering Total Over is also not a bad option.

• Handicap 2 (+5) for 1.87;
• Total Over (241) for 1.83;
• W2 and Total Over (241.5) for 4.20.
