The Denver Nuggets are coming off a hard fought loss against the Utah Jazz. Despite playing a grind it out defensive affair down to the wire against the Jazz, the Nuggets once again were doomed by poor late game execution. Now they head back east for a four game road trip, but on the way they'll stop in Denver and play the Chicago Bulls. The Bulls are dealing with a myriad of injuries but in no way does this mean an easy win for the Nuggets.
Jimmy Butler, the super star shooting guard for the Bulls, was sidelined in their most recent contest due to knee soreness.
