I'm taking Under 236.5 when the Bulls visit the Timberwolves because Minnesota's defense should keep Chicago's scoring down.
Through 12 games, Minnesota allowed 103.8 points per 100 possessions, best in the NBA. Chicago's offense ranked 25th at 109.2 through its first 10 games.
The Bulls shot 28.9% from three in that 10-game sample, last in the league. Minnesota held opponents to 31.5% through 12 games, the NBA's lowest mark.
Chicago is also without Caleb Wilson after hand surgery. Minnesota remains without Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo.
Minnesota's five full-game totals from Nov. 2-12 ranged from 212 to 227 points. The highest was Thursday's 133-94 win over Dallas.
