We have a single focus tonight, the Timberwolves v Bulls game, and our laser like focus is on Chicago's talisman, Nikola Vucevic. Vooch has been having a very good season, but many experts believe a trade is imminent, like super imminent, and if it is, he might not even play (so bets are voided, no harm no foul), or he gets pulled during the game (has happened many times before) or he could just be distracted.
Having played last night the Bulls might need to rest Vucevic a bit, and they probably can't really afford to bench him for the whole game. And as 11.5 point dogs, there is a very real chance of a blowout and a massive 'Wolves victory.
Nikola Vucevic (CHI) : Under 33.5 Points + Assists + Rebounds at odds of 1.83

The rivalry between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Chicago Bulls has been amped up by memorable moments during pivotal games, perhaps none more so than during the 1989 Eastern Conference First Round. In Game 5 of the series, famously known as "The Shot," Michael Jordan hit a game-winning buzzer-beater shot, securing the series victory for the Bulls and leaving a lasting mark on NBA playoff history.
