Nuggets vs. Bulls

Our 234.2-point projection is driven by Chicago’s #2 ranked pace (104.5) and Denver’s top-tier offensive efficiency, which remains elite even as Nikola Jokic manages a questionable ankle tag. The Bulls' defensive continuity is currently in flux following a major roster overhaul at the trade deadline, and after their last meeting this season exploded for 257 total points, another fast-break-heavy shootout is the clear expectation.
