The Chicago Bulls will visit the Denver Nuggets at Pepsi Center on Thursday evening.

Chicago (10-34) enters Thursday's matchup having lost eight straight games. The team's stagnant offense is largely to blame for its misfortunes, as the Bulls sit in last place league-wide in both scoring (100.9 points per game) and offensive rating (101.8). The team's lackluster offense was on full display in the team's loss to the Lakers on Tuesday. Chicago shot just 40.2 percent from the field and 28 percent from three-point range. It did see promising play, however, from Jabari Parker, who contributed 18 points in just 16 minutes off the bench.

Denver (29-14) is coming off a blowout loss to the Golden State Warriors in which it allowed a season-worst 142 points, including 51 in the first quarter. It was an uncharacteristic performance for the Nuggets, who are holding opponents to just 106.3 points per game this season, the sixth-lowest mark in the league. Denver also saw a relatively pedestrian performance from superstar Nikola Jokic, who finished with just 17 points and three rebounds. Still, the Nuggets have plenty to be happy about, as they have gone 7-3 in their last 10 games and currently sit at second place in the Western Conference.
