Denver Nuggets vs. Chicago Bulls Best Pick
Nikola Vucevic is fourth in the NBA with 11.9 rebounds per game, but he is going to be dealing with Jokic down low so he is not going to be able to grab as many as he is averaging.
He is coming off a game where he only was able to grab seven total rebounds last time out and that should be a sign as he struggles to grab as many with another big man that has shown the ability to as well.
Nikola Vucevic; Rebounds: Under 10.5 (-130)
Denver Nuggets vs. Chicago Bulls Final Prediction
Denver has been scoring a lot better lately as they are averaging 118.8 points in their last four games while Chicago is scoring 108.7 points in their previous three games, so there is a noticeable difference.
The Nuggets seem to be the better overall team and have covered in five of the last seven road games against the Bulls.
Denver Nuggets: -1.5 (-115)
