Bulls vs Nuggets NBA Preview, Predictions
This system builds on the idea that Denver’s altitude creates a natural fatigue advantage when opponents arrive with limited rest and a recent stretch of road games, which may be the situation for the Bulls entering tonight's matchup at Ball Arena.
In both the regular season and postseason, teams coming into Denver with only one day off and a multi-game road streak often struggle to maintain pace and efficiency in the second half, where the physical impact of playing in elevation becomes most visible.
By isolating situations where the Nuggets face opponents who are both travel-worn and unable to reset between games, the system targets a consistent performance edge rooted in fatigue, environment and the difficulty of adjusting quickly to Denver’s style and conditioning demands.
So, let's lay the points with the Nuggets tonight.
