Denver at Chicago

The Chicago Bulls have been playing better in their last four games, winning and covering all four. That sounds good, and it does match their longest stretch of having gone 4-0 SU/ATS this season, but the problem with this team has been maintaining a high level of play for a long stretch and that is why they are 30-29. The last time the Bulls were on a 4-0 SU/ATS run, they lost by seven in their next game. Denver is struggling to hold down the eighth and final playoff spot in the West, so there is an active sense of urgency, as they open a two-game road trip knowing they have six of the next seven at home after this one. The Bulls have long struggled to figure out this Denver team at just 7-19 ATS in the last 26 meetings, failing to cover each of the last five. Take the points on Denver.
