CHI vs MIN Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Chicago Bulls vs Minnesota Timberwolves

CHI vs MIN Dream11: The NBA trade deadline is past us, and whoops, what a turbulent period it is as a writer. As you write games, their complexion changes overnight but thank god, it is past us. But anyway, we know that the rest of the rosters will remain pretty much the same and at best, we can see some changes in terms of buyouts, etc. Anyway, let us jump into the game where the two of the quietest teams during the trade deadline in the Chicago Bulls and the Minnesota Timberwolves clash.

The Bulls have been dealing with a ton of injuries lately and with Ball and Caruso out, the Point Guard position has been compromised. Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan are two of the best isolation scorers in the league and DeMar especially has been having a season of his life. Nikola Vucevic provides solid production in the middle but the bench has been severely short-handed.

On the other hand, the Minnesota Timberwolves have played some inspirational basketball lately and they remained quiet during the deadline because they have reeled in a solid core already. With Anthony-Towns, Edwards, and Russell, the trio has a lot of years in terms of prime left and they complement each other well.

Host: Chicago Bulls
Visitors: Minnesota Timberwolves
Match Timing: 12 February, @ 06:30 AM

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Timberwolves: They are building something special
Minnesota has been one of the best offensive squads for the last couple of months. They have a solid scoring core and bringing in Anthony Edwards in the draft last season has surely given them a long-term boost. The best part about the Timberwolves team is that the squad has largely young players who have shown tremendous growth this season and this is the best window for Franchise in a long-long time. If the team continues growing like this, although they will need is a deep bench and well, watch out for the Wolves!

D’Angelo Russell has been a terrific shooter and his ability to dish assists make him a complete Point Guard. Anthony Edwards at the wing has been effective scoring-wise and he keeps on impressing with his ability to improve his three-point shooting. On the other hand, Karl Anthony-Towns is the heartbeat for this team and he has played a motivating brand of basketball this season. Malik Beasley has done a brilliant job scoring-wise while Patrick Beverley if he overcomes the injury, can make a lot of noise once the Playoffs approach.

Bulls: Isolation specialists carrying weight
Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan have done what LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook have been unable to do so far. And what is that? Co-existing! Especially in the case of Westbrook as a new entrant who has had his troubles with the whole pairing up with the superstars’ system. This is because of the template both LaVine and DeRozan set earlier in the season which has reaped fruits. With Vucevic in the middle, these two have more freedom to shoot from mid-range and beyond. Why I like DeRozan is that he has kept the art of tough mid-range shooting alive, bringing back the shades of Kobe Bryant this season and other former Bulls’ great… Michael Jordan.

Anyway, the problem has largely been the lack of firepower at the Point Guard position and with Ball and Caruso away, the team has been hit with an imbalance. And if not for LaVine and DeRozan, it could have been a situation like the Nets. Ayu Dosunmu as a rookie has done a wonderful job as the playmaker and a scorer as well but yes to make a long run, they’d need at least one of Ball and Caruso to be back in the fold. Big Forward Patrick Williams has been out of the fray too and once he returns, the defensive balance will be restored. Overall, even with a high-yielding Coby White, the Bulls’ bench has been thin.

Where to watch NBA Live Score?

Well, not great news for the Indian NBA fans, because if you want to catch DeRozan and LaVine raining it against Anthony-Towns, wouldn’t you want some service to showcase! However, as is the case for most of the NBA games, TV outlets MTV and VH1 are not going to showcase this game for Indian viewers. On the other hand, streaming platforms Voot and JIOTV are not going to showcase this game. That is why instead of relying on these services, you can purchase the annual subscription in the NBA League Pass, which provides access to all the live games and if you can’t catch the live stream, you can also watch the full game replays. To know the scores, stats, and news, go to the official website of the NBA.
