The Denver Nuggets (33-19) look to stop a three-game slide when they visit the new-look Chicago Bulls (24-28) at the United Center on Saturday night.
How to Watch Denver Nuggets vs Chicago Bulls
The Bulls, one of the busiest teams leading up to Thursday's trade deadline, got 22 points from newly acquired Anfernee Simons in Thursday night's 123-107 road loss to the Toronto Raptors. Matas Buzelis added 18 points while another newcomer, Guerschon Yabusele, put up 15 points and 11 rebounds off the bench, and former Detroit Pistons’ Jaden Ivey went for 13 points, six assists, and three steals.
Jamal Murray's 39 points and another Nikola Jokić triple-double weren't enough for Denver in a 134-127 double-overtime road loss to the New York Knicks on Wednesday night. Jokić finished with 30 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 assists, with Tim Hardaway Jr. scoring 19 points off the bench. The injury-plagued club also lost Peyton Watson to a hamstring injury after he posted 10 points in 33 minutes.
Chicago won the first meeting between the teams in Denver on Nov. 17, but has a completely different look after dealing leading scorer Coby White and longtime center Nikola Vučević, along with key reserves Ayo Dosunmu and Kevin Huerter, in a bevy of trades that yielded Ivey, Simons, Yabusele, Collin Sexton, and others, along with nine second-round picks.
Jokić averages 29.1 points, 12.1 rebounds, and 10.5 assists for the Nuggets while Murray posts 25.9 points per game. Buzelis is now Chicago's top scorer with an average of 15.0 points, with Jalen Smith putting up 10.2 points and 6.9 rebounds per game.
