Denver Nuggets vs Chicago Bulls prediction

The Denver Nuggets are the better, healthier team and got back on track last night with a win over the Hawks. The Chicago Bulls are still dealing with injuries to Zach LaVine and Alex Caruso, and now they’re on the end of a back to back with a game that included overtime. Talk about potential tired legs. The Nuggets also beat the Bulls by 22 points when these clubs met in early November. I’ll lay the chalk with the Nuggets.
