Fresh off matching a franchise shooting record, the visiting Chicago Bulls will look to stay hot against the reeling Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday in Minneapolis.

Chicago made 25 3-pointers to tie the team record on Tuesday in a 138-110 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. In a season affected by injuries, guard Coby White has connected on 13 triples across the Bulls’ last two games. White has played in only 22 of Chicago’s 43 games but appears to be finding his rhythm in the second half of the regular season.

“I’m just happy for him, because it’s been a long road back,” Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said of White. “I’m around him and I see how hard he works and how invested he is in the team. I’ve just got great respect for him and the way he puts his head down and grinds and works every day.”

With White’s strong performance helping Chicago win three of its last four games, the Bulls are nearing the .500 mark and currently sit in ninth place in the Eastern Conference.

White tied a season-high with 27 points against the Clippers, boosting confidence for the 18.5-point-per-game scorer.

“I feel good,” White said. “I just want to take it game-by-game. In this league, you can never get too high or too low. We’re just trying to stack wins and go from there.”

Chicago may also see the return of its leader in scoring and assists, Josh Giddey (19.2 points, nine assists per game). Giddey has not played since the Bulls’ first meeting with Minnesota on Dec. 29 due to a left hamstring strain. Donovan said there is a chance Giddey could return Thursday, and he is listed as questionable.

Minnesota, meanwhile, matched a season-long skid with its third straight loss on Tuesday, falling 127-122 to the Utah Jazz.

The Timberwolves led by 12 entering the fourth quarter but were outscored 43-26 in the final period.

After missing two games with a right foot injury, star Anthony Edwards has scored 55 and 38 points in consecutive losses to San Antonio and Utah. Leading the team with a career-high 29.9 points per game, Edwards knows the Timberwolves need a stronger effort against the Bulls.

“They pay us to play basketball. We can’t just lay down,” Edwards said. “We’ve got to go out there and give it our all.”

Minnesota returns home for the first time since a 104-103 win over the Spurs on Jan. 11. During the team’s disappointing four-game road trip, rookie center Joan Beringer scored in double figures twice, marking the best offensive outputs of his young career.

Beringer, the No. 17 overall pick in last year’s draft, has seen an increase in playing time, a decision supported by head coach Chris Finch.

“He’s learning on the job,” Finch said. “He has feel. Usually, in that position, feel doesn’t necessarily come easily to centers.”

Beringer is averaging 3.2 points in 18 games.
