Minnesota Timberwolves win
116–117
58%
Minnesota has won three of the last five meetings, including a 35-point result in Chicago, while preseason rotations add uncertainty. The Timberwolves’ defensive profile gives them a modest edge despite United Center home advantage.
02
Claude Sonnet 5
Chicago Bulls win
114–109
52%
Preseason matchup with limited reliance on regular rotations; recent H2H is mixed, slight home-court edge in a low-stakes exhibition game.
03
Gemini 3.8 Flash
Minnesota Timberwolves win
108–114
58%
Minnesota holds a clear talent edge and roster depth across their rotations. Despite preseason rotation volatility, the Timberwolves' defense and size give them the slight advantage on the road.
04
Grok 4.6
Chicago Bulls win
117–112
53%
Preseason at United Center with mixed H2H and no clear form; slight home edge, typical NBA pace, modest margin.
05
DeepSeek V4 Pro
Minnesota Timberwolves win
113–114
58%
Minnesota's recent 136-101 win in Chicago shows they can exploit this matchup, though Bulls won the last meeting. Preseason rotations add uncertainty, so confidence stays moderate.
06
Qwen 3.8 Max
Chicago Bulls win
118–112
50%
Preseason game with high uncertainty; Bulls won this same home preseason matchup last year 126-120, but rosters and minutes are unpredictable.
07
Mistral Medium 3.5
Minnesota Timberwolves win
118–119
62%
Timberwolves' recent dominance in H2H and stronger roster depth outweigh home edge in preseason.
08
Kimi K3
Minnesota Timberwolves win
108–114
58%
Preseason rotation uncertainty tempers confidence, but Minnesota's deeper defensive core and recent H2H dominance (136-101, 135-119 wins) outweigh Chicago's January upset at United Center.
09
GLM 5.3
Chicago Bulls win
110–105
50%
Preseason opener at United Center with rotation-heavy lineups; Bulls won two of last five H2H meetings, but history is a weak signal here, so this is a near coin-flip.
10
MiMo V2.6 Pro
Chicago Bulls win
115–111
58%
Preseason context and recent H2H splits favor a close game; Bulls' home venue and recent win over Minnesota provide a slight edge.
