The Bulls are on the second night of a back to back after a double overtime loss in Utah. They're now playing in the elevation of Denver on the fifth road game in a 6 game stretch. They will be without their top scorer in Coby White (calf) against a Denver defense that is one of the best in the NBA, allowing the third fewest points. They're also playing at a bottom 7 pace -- they should control the tempo, slow down the game and help us cash this Bulls TT under.
Aaron Gordon has been sensational for the Nuggets and is averaging a career high 2.5 made threes per game, while shooting a blistering 47.5% from the arc. While Gordon has been awesome, he is a significant regression candidate as he is a career 33% shooter from three and he didnтАЩt become Steph Curry in the offseason. Considering the price point and blowout potential, I am likely to fade him at this number anytime itтАЩs plus money.
