The Chicago Bulls will finish their preseason on October 16 with a home game against the Minnesota Timberwolves at the United Center. Both teams are set to enter the matchup with identical 2-2 records.
The Bulls started their preseason strong, earning back-to-back wins over the Cleveland Cavaliers on October 7 and October 9. Since then, they’ve hit a rough patch, falling 127-121 to the Milwaukee Bucks on October 12 and 124-117 to the Denver Nuggets on October 14.
Minnesota’s preseason has followed a slightly different path. The Timberwolves began with a win over the Nuggets but then dropped games to the Indiana Pacers and the New York Knicks. They bounced back with a victory against China’s Guangzhou Loong-Lions.

Despite the losses, Anthony Edwards has been a bright spot for Minnesota. The young guard has averaged 17 points in just 23 minutes across the two games.
