Bulls vs. Timberwolves Preview: How to Watch, Injury Report & Odds
Nov 15, 2026 12:56 AM

Here's everything you need to know before the Bulls take on the Timberwolves on Saturday night:

The Chicago Bulls' eight-game losing streak is finally over, but the team doesn't have time to sit back and celebrate. Less than 24 hours after topping the Atlanta Hawks in overtime, the Bulls are back on the road to face the Timberwolves in Minnesota.

Tiago Splitter's squad is now 2-9 after a 125-117 win over the Hawks on Friday night. In the team's first game without star rookie Caleb Wilson — who is out four to six weeks with a right hand fracture — the Bulls made 20 three-pointers and had a season-high 34 assists.

Norman Powell scored 33 points on 12-of-19 shooting (4-of-8 from deep) to lead the way for Chicago. Josh Giddey tallied his first triple-double of the season.

Because of the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) nationwide ground stop and subsequent flight delays on Friday, the Bulls were forced to fly from Chicago to Minneapolis on Saturday morning, rather than their originally planned Friday night departure.

The Timberwolves have won five consecutive games despite being without star guard Anthony Edwards, who has missed the last nine games with a right knee injury. Minnesota has instead been led by offseason trade acquisition LaMelo Ball (18.6 points, 6.3 assists per game) and former Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu (18.1 points per game).
