Nuggets vs. Bulls Odds & Betting Predictions - February 8, 2026

Meet the Pelle Larsson of the West! Braun scores without plays being run for him, living off cuts, timing, and attacking space once defenses load up elsewhere. We’ve already seen this matchup work, as he dropped 28 points vs Chicago last year by simply punishing help rotations and late recoveries. He looks fully lifted off any minutes restriction after logging 42 minutes in 2OT vs NYK, so expecting 28–32 minutes here, especially with Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson out. Chicago ranks 30th in points allowed in the paint this season, which is where Braun scores about 65% of his points, and once you cut into the teeth of the defense, Guerschon Yabusele and Nick Richards offer very little deterrence. Bulls wings are slow to track cutters after helping on Jokic or Murray, creating the exact baseline finishes and straight-line looks Braun thrives on, making the # very reachable without needing shooting variance. #PlayerProps
