MIN vs CHI Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Minnesota Timberwolves vs Chicago Bulls

MIN vs CHI Dream11: This is the last day of the NBA Regular Season and we will be in the Postseason territory season. The intensity will only rise up in this area and you have to be at your A-game. There are various scenarios that are playing in the Play-in tournament and some teams have been unable to seize the top-six berth in their Conference despite their stellar play while others just snuck in despite some underwhelming. An example of the former is Minnesota Timberwolves and the latter is the Chicago Bulls.

The Timberwolves have been one of the elite offensive teams and they have been engaging in shootouts more often than not. They will be a tough team to tackle in the Play-in tournament but they are going up against Paul George and co. first up.

On the other hand, the Bulls have not been playing Playoffs-level basketball lately and due to that, their chances are just decreasing to last against elite teams. The defensive side has been below-par and the team leads a huge lift in that department.

Host: Minnesota Timberwolves
Visitors: Chicago Bulls
Match Timing: 11 April, @ 06:00 AM
Venue: Target Center

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Timberwolves will face the Clippers

The Timberwolves are an amazing team at home and they will face the Clippers. This is an interesting battle considering that the Clippers have looked highly deep with the return of Paul George and also Norman Powell. The Timberwolves have done a great job on the offensive end at home and with the trifecta of Karl Anthony-Towns, Anthony Edwards, and D’Angelo Russell, all three being versatile offensive players.

Defensively the team has struggled a bit and that is due to their back-and-forth offensive style that gives us a classic shootout type of scenario. While the Clippers lack the same pace game, with Paul George and Norman Powell the Clippers can disrupt the lanes and finish in the fastbreak situation, something the team will have to be aware of. This is why the game can’t be as easy as it sounds because of the Clippers’ depth with the return of Norman and Paul.

Bulls need to make adjustments

Bulls don’t have to go through the Play-in tournament but their Playoffs chances look slim. They may draw the Celtics in the first round and they can be overwhelmed on both ends against them. Another issue has been the team’s poor play away from home and the defense completely collapses at times. I thought the return of Patrick Williams may fix some things but it didn’t make that big of a difference, the Bulls are really suffering on the offensive end.

And their offensive end has been able to match to the opponents, something which the Timberwolves have at least done these days. DeRozan is not dropping 30+ points that often and when he does, the team hasn’t been efficient. The second half of the season is just the opposite of the first half when the team was winning away from home, had amazing scoring balance, and was tight defensively. Seems like losing Lonzo Ball took the steam out of the team.
