Bulls vs. Timberwolves Predictions, Odds and Best Bets For Monday, December 29

Akash

Last updated:
3 min read

The Bulls come into this matchup playing some of their best basketball in weeks, winning six of their last eight to climb back into the play‑in mix. Even in their recent loss to Milwaukee, they stayed competitive behind steady efforts from Coby White, Nikola Vucevic, and Josh Giddey. Minnesota arrives in a very different rhythm, dropping two straight after a long stretch of strong play.

A narrow overtime loss to Denver was followed by a flat defensive showing against Brooklyn, where even Anthony Edwards’ 28 points couldn’t keep them close. With Chicago trending upward and the Timberwolves searching for answers, this meeting carries a very different energy for each side.

Game Details

  • When: Monday, December 29, 2025 at 8:00 PM ET

  • Arena: United Center

Recommended Bet and Updated Odds

Anthony Edwards 30+ Points-130-140

Analysis and Rationale

This is a strong spot for Anthony Edwards to clear the 30‑point mark. Even during Minnesota’s recent slump, he has remained their most reliable offensive force, dropping 28 points in the loss to Brooklyn and carrying much of the scoring load while the team struggles defensively.

With the Timberwolves coming off two straight defeats and needing a response, Edwards’ usage is likely to stay high. Chicago has been winning tight games, but their defense has shown cracks against elite scorers, making another high‑volume night from Edwards very realistic.

Bulls vs. Timberwolves Prediction

The Bulls enter this matchup with real momentum, winning six of their last eight and climbing back into the play‑in picture thanks to steady performances from Coby White, Nikola Vucevic, and Josh Giddey. Even in their loss to Milwaukee, they stayed competitive and continued to show the late‑game composure that has fueled their recent surge.

Minnesota arrives in a very different rhythm. After winning 10 of 12, they’ve now dropped two straight, including a flat defensive showing against Brooklyn where even Anthony Edwards’ 28 points couldn’t keep them close. With the Timberwolves searching for defensive stability and Chicago trending upward, this matchup feels far more balanced than the standings suggest.
