Chicago Bulls vs Denver Nuggets Prediction: will the Nuggets have a better game this time around?

Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on January 28. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Chicago Bulls

The Bulls played their previous game at home against Philadelphia, and it was a direct knockout for tenth place in the Eastern Conference. The team lost it, not even scoring a hundred points - 97:109. Chicago remained in the top-10, but now the 76ers are only 1.0 wins behind the Bulls.

Judging by the way Chicago has been performing lately, they will not only lose their play-in position soon, but they will do it without much regret. The Bulls have lost seven of their previous eight games and clearly wouldn't mind trading Nikola Vucevic and Zach LaVine, which will be much easier to do with poor results than fighting for the playoffs.

Denver Nuggets

The Nuggets approach the matchup with Minnesota not only with a winning streak of four straight games, but having won eight of their last nine. The team failed to build on that success. Moreover, they lost in Minneapolis by all accounts - 104:133. Nikola Jokic had only three rebounds, and although he scored 20 points + 11 assists, he lost the duel to Rudy Gober. In addition, Jamal Murray's 25 points didn't help the Nuggets cling to the result.

That said, things are looking good for Denver in the standings. With a 28-17 balance, the team from Colorado is in fourth place in the Western Conference and is not that far behind, for example, the second line, which is occupied by Houston - just 2.5 wins.

Expert Betting Tips

Denver cleanly lost to Minnesota, but matches with the Timberwolves in principle in recent seasons are always unsuccessful for the Nuggets.
