The Chicago Bulls return home looking to get back on track against the Minnesota Timberwolves after falling, 111-98, on the road to the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday. Tonight's contest is the first to two between the Bulls and Wolves on the year. Minnesota swept the season series last year (2-0) and have won seven of the past eight meetings overall, including three in-a-row coming into tonight. Both teams sport identical 3-8 records this month, with Minnesota really skidding of late in having lost six straight, while the Bulls have come up short in three of their last five.
Despite the offensive brilliance of Zach LaVine, as a team the Bulls have struggled to put points on the board this season, ranking 25th in the league at 105.
