The Minnesota Timberwolves will try to keep rolling on Saturday night when they host the Chicago Bulls at Target Center, with Minnesota laying 14.5 points in the matchup. Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. ET on November 14, 2026, and the game will air on DAZN-MIN, CHSN, and CHSN App.
Minnesota comes in at 9-3 and riding a five-game winning streak, while Chicago arrives at 2-9. The Timberwolves have been a dominant bet all season, going 11-1-0 against the spread. They’ve also covered in six of seven games as favorites, and they have not been asked to lay shorter moneyline odds than -926 at any point this year.
Chicago has been more unpredictable at the window, but it has still managed a 6-5-0 ATS mark. As a 14.5-point underdog or bigger, the Bulls are 2-1 against the spread. They’ve gone over in six of their 11 games with a set total, and they’ve won 20% of their games as moneyline underdogs, going 2-8 overall in those spots.
The recent head-to-head results lean Minnesota’s way on paper, even if the last meeting didn’t. On January 22, 2026, the Timberwolves were 9.5-point favorites but fell 120-115 to Chicago. Before that, Minnesota handled the Bulls 136-101 on December 29, 2025 as a 6.5-point favorite.
Injuries will be part of the picture for both teams. Minnesota lists Donte DiVincenzo as out with an Achilles injury and Anthony Edwards as out with a knee injury. Chicago’s report includes Caleb Wilson out with a hand injury, while Tobe Awaka and Dailyn Swain are both day-to-day with back injuries.

Timberwolves Face A Pregame Injury Question Against The Bulls
The Timberwolves are back at Target Center on November 14 with a pregame injury question hanging over a matchup that already carries some early-season weight. Chicago arrives with three players on its injury report, while Minnesota has two names to monitor, leaving both sides to sort through availability before tipoff and adjust around the players who have helped drive each teams early statistical profile.
For Minnesota, the bigger concern is simply getting through the night with a clean rotation against a Bulls team that has shown enough across the board to make this a real test. The injury list gives the game an extra layer of uncertainty, and with both clubs carrying notable absences into the matchup, the final word on who is available could shape how the Timberwolves approach the opening stretch at home.

Timberwolves Are Building Something Dangerous Without Anthony Edwards
Anthony Edwards is still working back from knee surgery, but the Timberwolves have hardly looked like a team waiting around for help. During this recent run, Minnesota has stacked up wins behind a defense that has kept opponents uncomfortable and a group of fill-in contributors who have made the offense look far less dependent on one star than it did earlier in the season.
LaMelo Ball and Ayo Dosunmu have given the Wolves a steady lift, Bones Hyland has supplied scoring punch off the bench, and Jonathan Kuminga has added another layer on both ends. The result has been a stretch that says a lot about Minnesotas depth and resilience, even if the bigger question remains how this version of the team will look once Edwards is ready to return.

Anthony Edwards Is Still Driving The Wolves While Sidelined
Anthony Edwards may be stuck on the sideline for now, but he has not disappeared from the Timberwolves day-to-day rhythm. Since undergoing right knee arthroscopic surgery, he has stayed close to the team by attending practices and games, keeping his presence felt around the locker room and helping maintain the edge that has defined Minnesotas start without him.
The Wolves have handled his absence well enough on the court, going 6-2 and sitting near the top of the league in both defensive and net ratings. Even so, the bigger takeaway for Minnesota is how much Edwards still seems to matter beyond his own box score, with his communication and involvement giving the group a steadying voice while it waits for its star to return.
