Nuggets vs. Bulls Picks
Point Spread Pick for Nuggets vs. Bulls
- Denver Nuggets to cover. (4 Units)
Despite their recent run, the Nuggets have the edge here because they’re playing well offensively, scoring more than 119 points per game, while making over 48 percent of their shots. They’ve also done better at the charity stripe, making over 81 percent of their free throws. They rebound the ball well and grabbed more than 11 offensive rebounds per game in their last three games, which will give them more scoring chances. They also do a good job of protecting the ball, and won’t give up many easy-scoring chances. The Bulls aren’t playing well defensively, and gave up over 129 points per game in their last three games, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Nuggets. Take Denver to cover the spread.
Over/Under Pick for Nuggets vs. Bulls
