Chicago at Denver

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.
