The Denver Nuggets have been on a tear, winning seven straight games and now boasting a 10-2 record on the season. The Bulls opened the season at 5-1 but have now lost five consecutive games. These teams are surely heading in the opposite direction, but that is the time to look at a struggling team, as they likely won't see the Denver "A" game tonight, and the lines are stacked on the favorite here. There is evidence to support this, as a team that has won at least five straight games is facing a team that has lost at least five consecutive games. The team that has won its last five or more is 125-149 ATS, covering just 45.6% of the time. I'm taking the points with Chicago.

Pro Picks
Denver at Chicago
The Denver Nuggets have been playing great basketball. They are 28-17 in the season and have been winners of 8 of their last 10 games. The Bulls are 19-27, but in the top-heavy Eastern Conference, that's good enough for the #10 seed in the play-in round. It certainly has nothing to do with the team's strength. This team is 2-8 in their last 10 games and has slipped to 8 games below .500, but they still may be rewarded with a playoff spot. Denver shoots 50% from the field, and Chicago allows 47% a game. Both these teams play at an above-average pace, and the Denver offense is clicking, so the more shots taken in this game, the bigger their advantage. Make the play on Denver.

Pro Picks
Denver at Chicago
Denver won the first meeting 123-101 on Nov. 4, and the Nuggets snapped a three-game skid with a 129-122 victory over Atlanta on Monday night, with Jamal Murray scoring 29 points. Chicago's four-game win streak ended in a 133-129 loss to Milwaukee, wasting 41 points from DeMar DeRozan, as the Bucks shot 51 percent. The Bulls are 3-8 ATS their past 11 games playing on no rest and 1-4 ATS overall following a loss. Denver is #4 in the NBA with a .490 field goal percentage, and Chicago is #27 (.446). The Bulls are 0-6 ATS their past six Tuesday games, and I don't expect DeRozan and the Bulls to have another great scoring game on consecutive days. Lay the points with the Nuggets. Max Play.
