Bulls vs Timberwolves Prediction, Projected Score & Pick

Chicago Bulls at Minnesota Timberwolves · Sat, Nov 14, 2026

HoopVantage's Nov 14, 2026 prediction: Minnesota Timberwolves over the Bulls by 10.2 points, a 80% win probability, with a projected final of Bulls 111, Timberwolves 121 (total 231.9).

The model projects Minnesota Timberwolves to win by 10.2 points (80% win probability), projected score MIN 121, CHI 111, total 231.9 (80% range 208–256). The largest driver is rest, travel & altitude (2.9 points toward MIN).

Matchup

Chicago Bulls rank 25 of 30 in the HoopVantage power rating (−3.8 points against an average opponent, about 29 projected wins in 2026-27); Minnesota Timberwolves rank 11 (+2.7, about 47 wins). On a neutral floor that gap is worth 6.5 points to Minnesota Timberwolves; home court, rest, travel and the projected rotations move it to the 10.2-point margin above. A 80% win probability means Minnesota Timberwolves should win about 8 of 10 games like this one, so the other side winning is a normal outcome, not an upset of the model.
