Nuggets at Bulls picks and predictions
Prediction
Nuggets 125, Bulls 111
Moneyline
The Nuggets (-325) will cost you more than 3 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward. Even if you were to toss Denver into a multi-leg parlay, or cross-sport parlay, there is just no value including it. Even if the Nuggets were to win, including them sucks all of the value out of your ticket.
AVOID.
Against the spread
The NUGGETS -8.5 (-105) are worth a look, even though this is a rather big number on the road.
However, the Bulls +8.5 (-115) have covered just once in the past 7 games, and Chicago is just 1-3 ATS in the past 4 tries against Western Conference teams.
On the flip side, Denver has won and covered each of the past 4 games against Eastern Conference opponents.
Over/Under
UNDER 246.5 (-115) might be the best play on the board.
While Denver has cashed high in 5 of the past 6 games, going for 132 or more points in 3 of the past 5 outings, the Under has hit in 4 of the Nuggets’ past 6 games on the road.
For Chicago, the total has ended up going low in 3 of the past 4 games, with the offense posting 113 or fewer points in 4 games in a row, and in 6 of the past 7 contests.
