Chicago at Denver

The Denver Nuggets have a better team than the early pedestrian start they have had. This is a team with an altitude advantage that works in their favor. They are also a good team to go with that advantage, as they went 38-3 straight-up at home last season. They dropped their first two games at home this season, but have gotten their act together to win their last three here. Chicago has been defending as well as anyone this season, but they will be hard pressed to stop a Nuggets team that has gone for 110+ in each of their last four games. The Bulls have won five straight, but four of those were at home. Their lone road win was against 5-7 Toronto, and the Bulls have not won on the road anywhere else this season. The Bulls have been a poor team on a pair of days rest at 7-22-1 ATS in their last 30, and Denver has not been a friendly place for them as they are just 1-5 ATS in their last six trips here. Play on Denver.
