*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Tuesday, March 7th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Wednesday March 8th
Chicago Bulls
Despite playing some of the best defense in the NBA for the past two months the Bulls still find themselves on the outside of the play-in looking in.
They might get some luck this week if the Hawks can sweep the Wizards in the baseball set and Toronto keeps pulling Scott Foster to ref their games.
They enter this match 2.0 games back of the final play-in seed.
Season Stats
Chicago scores 113.0 points per game ranking 21st while they shoot 49.0% from the field and 36.1% from the perimeter ranking fifth and 16th respectively.
Defensively, they allow 112.7 points per game ranking 12th. So far, their opponents shoot 46.8% from the field and 35.3% from the perimeter ranking 10th in both categories.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Lonzo Ball, PG (OUT indefinitely— left knee surgery)
- Javonte Green, SG (OUT indefinitely — right knee surgery)
Denver Nuggets
On Monday the Nuggets didn’t have their best effort but got the good fortune of having Scott Foster be the main official for their game. Denver seemed a tick slow all night, but things changed in a hurry (make that in 1:15 worth of time) as Foster single-handedly impacted the outcome of the match.
He ruled against Nick Nurse and in favor of Michael Malone on challenges, ejected Scottie Barnes ‘for questioning the officials integrity’ (HIGHLY suspicious call) and sent the Nuggets to the line nine times (they shot 14 FTs in 46:15).
Look – Denver was my preseason pick to win the West (nothing has changed) but didn’t play well Monday and got gifted the game. Even Malone eluded to it in his post game about how ‘lucky’ they got down the stretch.
It happens, but Scott Foster remains an official the league is either turning a blind eye to or who should be investigated because he always seems to be at the center of controversial game results/decisions.
Stats
On the positive side, Denver possesses the best offense in the league highlighted by scoring 117.2 points per game ranking fifth. Denver is shooting the best field goal percentage of 50.9% as well as the top-ranked perimeter efficiency of 39.0%.
To be sure, defensively the Nuggets are improving. So far, they allow opponents to score 112.6 points per game which ranks 10th while limiting foes to 47.9% from the field and 34.6% from deep ranking 20th and fourth respectively.
Injury Report
Denver hadn’t submitted their updated injury report as of posting but to this is who is likely on the list…
- Zeke Nnaji PF (OUT—shoulder)
- Vlato Cancar SF (questionable —wrist)
- Collin Gillespie PG (OUT—leg fracture)

Free Chicago Bulls vs. Denver Nuggets NBA Prediction:
Denver has lost four games all season at Ball Arena and aside from Jamal Murray had a lackluster performance on Monday. They typically bounce back after poor showings of that nature and while I expect them to win I don’t love the point spread.
