Chicago Bulls vs Denver Nuggets Predicted Starting Lineups and Depth Chart for Mar. 24 | NBA 2024-25 Season

The Denver Nuggets kick off their five-game homestand Monday night as they host the Chicago Bulls at the Ball Arena. After losing their only previous meeting of the 2024-2025 season, Michael Malone’s squad will aim to redeem themselves by bouncing back and evening the regular season series.

The last matchup, held on January 27 at the United Center, was a high-scoring affair. Nikola Jokic put together a dominant performance, recording a 33-point triple-double with 12 rebounds and 14 assists. Christian Braun, Jamal Murray, and Michael Porter Jr. combined for 64 points, but it wasn’t enough to overcome a well-rounded Bulls effort.

Chicago claimed a 129-121 victory, with seven players scoring in double figures. Zach LaVine led the way with 21 points, while Nikola Vucevic and Josh Giddey each notched double-doubles.

Tonight’s rematch, however, will have a different dynamic. LaVine has since been traded, and the Nuggets will be without their three-time MVP Jokic.

Both teams enter the contest coming off impressive wins - Chicago dominated the Lakers 146-115, and the shorthanded Denver side upset Houston 116-111 – promising an action-packed thriller.
