Roll up, roll up! We’ve got a primetime showdown that’s hotter than a jalapeño popper fresh out of the oven.

As the sun sets at 07:00PM EST, the Bulls will be charging into the Target Center, trailing by a dozen games in the East, while the T-Wolves are sitting pretty atop the Western conference, without a single team nipping at their heels. The bookies are expecting a high-scoring affair, setting the over/under at a spicy 213.0, with the Bulls as 8.5-point underdogs and the T-Wolves favored by the same margin. The Bulls are coming off a rough night against Brooklyn, while the Wolves are riding high after toppling Denver. So buckle up, folks, because tonight, it’s not just about the survival of the fittest, it’s a battle between the Bulls and the Wolves. And remember, in this game, it’s not the size of the Bull in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the Wolf!
