Chicago Bulls Preview
After early season hype, the Chicago Bulls have been brought back down to earth. That's because their results have taken a nosedive since the turn of the year for a multitude of reasons. Their roster has been constantly plagued by injuries to the likes of Lonzo Ball and Zach LaVine.
However, there is no better time to hit top form than right now. The Bulls will depend on the likes of LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic to make some serious noise in the postseason .
Chicago Bulls Predicted Lineup
G - Ayo Dosunmu; G - Coby White; F - DeMar DeRozan; F - Javonte Green; C - Tristan Thompson.
Minnesota Timberwolves Preview
With Karl-Anthony Towns, Anthony Edwards and D'Angelo Russell, the Minnesota Timberwolves have the personnel to challenge for the championship in the near future. However, that is unlikely to happen this campaign, as the West is packed with strong teams.
A lack of consistency has been the root of problems for Minnesota this season. That is especially true with injuries and players entering the league's health and safety protocols inhibiting the team's progress.
Minnesota Timberwolves Predicted Lineup
G: Patrick Beverley; G: D'Angelo Russell; F: Anthony Edwards; F: Jarred Vanderbilt; C: Naz Reid.
