Chicago vs Denver. NBA Match Prediction

Current form

Chicago is having a very difficult season. The team holds the tenth place in the Eastern Conference, but it does so more due to the weakness of competitors than its own stability. In recent matches, the Bulls looked unconvincing. After a victory over the Clippers (112:99), two defeats followed – from Golden State (106:131) and Philadelphia (97:109).

The team defense can't handle the pressure from opponents, and the attack is pinned solely on Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic. At the same time, rumors are circulating in the club about possible exchanges of leaders, which could negatively affect the players' motivation. A difficult match against Denver is ahead, and in order to count on a positive result, Chicago will have to demonstrate its best game.

Disqualifications and injuries

Due to health problems, we will not see Coby White on the court.

Interesting facts for betting

The Bulls have won only one of their last five games.

Probable lineup: Williams - LaVine, Vucevic - Giddey, Ball.

Current form

Denver continues to fight for a place in the top three of the Western Conference, but in the last round the team unexpectedly suffered a crushing defeat from Minnesota (104:133). This defeat became an alarming signal, as the Nuggets looked pale both in attack and defense. Nevertheless, Nikola Jokic remained at his usual high level, having made a double-double.

Now Denver will try to quickly forget about the failure and return to the winning path. Fortunately, the opponent allows it – Chicago is unstable and has problems both in defense and in the organization of the game. The away game against the Bulls will be a good opportunity for the Nuggets to rehabilitate themselves and continue the pursuit of the leaders of the West.

Disqualifications and injuries

Vlatko Cancar and Daron Holmes will not play in the next match due to injuries.

Interesting facts for betting

The club has won 3 of the last 5 head-to-head matches.

Projected lineup: Porter Jr. - Brown, Jokic - Murray, Westbrook.
