The Chicago Bulls stretched their unbeaten run to four games with a commanding 117-99 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday. The Bulls took advantage of LeBron James’ absence as seven Chicago players scored in double-figures. Dwyane Wade scored 20 points while Jimmy Butler recorded a triple-double for the Bulls who climbed into a sixth-place in the Eastern Conference standings.
They will look to keep the momentum going when they lock horns with the Denver Nuggets tonight. The Bulls will fancy their chances of doing just that as they have fared extremely well against the Nuggets at home of late. The Bulls have won each of their last three meetings with the Nuggets at United Center. The Nuggets, however, have covered the spread in their previous five games against the Bulls. That includes their 110-107 victory over Chicago earlier this season.
The Bulls are 5-4-1 ATS in their last 10 home games against the Nuggets.
Writer’s Prediction
Chicago (-2.5) wins, 108-103.
