OUR PREDICTION: The T-Wovles are just 2-5 against the spread in their seven games this season as a road underdog but when you dig deeper, they lost by an average margin of 4.7 points in those games. In other words, they’ve been competitive when they’ve been an away dog this season and should be competitive tonight at the United Center. Minnesota won both of last season’s meetings between these two teams and you know Tom Thibodeau will have his team focused when he returns to Chicago for the first time as a visiting head coach.
