Minnesota at Chicago

The Chicago Bulls are 18-37, and one of the worst teams in the league. Like a lot of poor teams over an 82 game season, there is going to be a good strong stretch or two. The Bulls certainly have not been immune to that, as they rattled off a stretch going 10-2 over 12 games, including winning seven straight. The bad news is that outside the 10-2 run, they are 8-35! Their present course has them on a seven game losing streak, failing to cover six straight. After a few years of being predicted as a playoff team, Minnesota has finally arrived at 34-23, and they will likely be there this season. They are sizzling right now, averaging 115 points per game in their last 10, and have shot 50% or better in their last three. Back Minnesota.
