It’s a tall task for the Chicago Bulls (+13.5, +595) as they head into the altitude of Ball Arena to take on the red-hot Denver Nuggets (-13.5, -795) on Monday, November 17th, 2025, at 9:00 PM ET on NBA League Pass. Denver enters this matchup on an absolute tear, having won seven straight games straight up, fueled by Nikola Jokić’s brilliance and a supporting cast firing on all cylinders.
But bettors shouldn’t overlook Chicago entirely—the Bulls have covered the spread in 6 of their last 9 meetings against Denver, often finding ways to keep games competitive even when outmatched on paper. Zach LaVine and Coby White will need to be at their best to exploit transition opportunities and avoid getting bogged down in Denver’s methodical half-court attack.
With a massive spread and heavy action on the Nuggets, this matchup becomes a classic question for bettors: trust Denver’s dominance, or grab the points with a Bulls squad that’s been surprisingly scrappy in this series?
