Chicago at Minnesota

Chicago's defense is still fierce which helps on the road and against weak teams. The Bulls are No. 7 in the NBA in rebounds, No. 3 in points allowed. That helps on the road where they have a winning record (18-15), and more wins than Minnesota has at home. Chicago topped Indiana 87-84 last night to keep their Central Division crown hopes alive. The win pulled the Bulls within five games of the Pacers with 14 to play, and the Bulls are 4-0 ATS in their last four games when playing on no rest. Minnesota is still without power forward Kevin Love and home from a long trip to Phoenix. The Timberwolves haven't won two in a row since mid-December, going 0-11 ever since in their opportunities to establish a winning streak. The Timberwolves are 3-10-2 ATS in their last 15 games against a team with a winning record, and 3-12-1 ATS following a win. Minnesota doesn't get it done against good teams at 3-10-2 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. And when these teams meet it's been all Chicago, as the Bulls are 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings, including 4-0 ATS in Minnesota. Take the road team.
