Here’s how we are betting Chicago Bulls vs Denver Nuggets tonight.
Our best bet for Chicago Bulls vs Denver Nuggets is Denver Nuggets -5.5 (-108) against the spread.
The Chicago Bulls are currently out of playoff prospects with a 24-28 record, and have occupied 11th spot in the standings. The Nuggets, on the other hand, are one of the strongest teams this season, and have been dominating with a 16-10 record on road. Though they are coming off a three-game losing skid, the Nuggets have still maintained a dominance over the Bulls.
Denver has the second-best offense in the league, but their defense has pushed them down the standings. On the other hand, the Bulls maintain a mid-rack offense and are 25th in terms of defense.
The spread at Nuggets -5.5 fits the visitors well considering the Bulls’ offensive and defensive struggles. They cover well in such spots.
Keeping the Nuggets’ on-court balance as well as overall form in mind, we are laying the Denver Nuggets -5.5 as our Best Bet, and expect the visitors to cover the number tonight comfortably.
Same-Game Parlay Picks for Chicago Bulls vs Denver Nuggets
We have built this same-game parlay around the Denver Nuggets to record a big over the Chicago Bulls. Nikola Jokic leads the Nuggets’ offensive engine, while Jamal Murray is another reliable scorer for the side. We see them taking the lead on Saturday, and put up a strong score for the visitors.
These legs are correlated considering if the Nuggets dominate court from the beginning, Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and other players would get scoring opportunities and they will end exceeding the afore-mentioned numbers easily. Hence, this is our safer SGP option.
