Denver Nuggets vs Chicago Bulls Prediction

I’d love to have more clarity on the Nuggets injury report, as there’s a chance they’re down a good chunk of their rotation. However, oddsmakers don’t seem to have many worries. The Nuggets are still a profitable 30-22 ATS. The Bulls have injuries of their own, and they’re not profitable on the season. The Bulls have been free-falling with a defense that’s heading in the wrong direction. At the time of this writing, I’m going to lay the points with the Nuggets. Check the injury report before betting.
