KEY GAME INFORMATION
DENVER: Shooters are en vogue, which Emmanuel Mudiay is not. But he is a big, athletic point guard who will overpower defenders. He'll be effective, it's just going to be a matter of the learning curve . . . Randy Foye figures to back up both guard spots. He's a fungible veteran chucker . . . Jameer Nelson figures to be in more of a mentor role for Mudiay. His playing time should dwindle as Mudiay improves . . . After spending his rookie year on a milk carton, Gary Harris will have a chance to play his way into the rotation as Denver rebuilds . . . Will Barton is still a work in progress. He needs to shoot it better . . . Nick Johnson could carve out a career as a defensive specialist . . . Erick Green's ceiling is a Foye-type sixth man. Wilson Chandler is the most reliable scorer left in Denver. The veteran will play both wing spots and could easily lead the team in shot attempts . . . Trade rumors constantly swirl around Kenneth Faried. He's a double double guy when he's getting minutes, but he seems to have a tendency to rub coaches the wrong way . . . The best player in Denver is Danilo Gallinari, who must prove he can stay healthy. When he's on the court, he's a true No. 1 scoring option . . . Solid back-up big man Darrell Arthur returns as a quality defender with the ability to knock down the occasional mid-range jumper . . . A throw-in in the Ty Lawson deal, Kostas Papanikolaou has to shoot much better to earn a rotation spot in Denver. Jusuf Nurkic is a monster on the low block. He is also a foul machine who will rarely stay on the floor for 30 minutes and won't be ready for the season opener (knee) . . . Nikola Jokic arrives as another quality import. He's not athletic, but he's big and skilled . . . If you're trying to pinpoint where things went wrong for Denver, signing J.J. Hickson with their mid-level exception a few years back is a good place to start . . . Joey Dorsey isn't long for this roster.
CHICAGO: Jimmy Butler has quickly become a great NBA player. His shooting is streaky, but if he's knocking down shots in Fred Hoiberg's uptempo system, he's a darkhorse MVP candidate . . . Derrick Rose is not the player he was pre-injuries (obviously). He'll have a chance to get back to attack, attack, attack in Hoiberg's system, which is good, but you're not going to see vintage Rose again . . . Tony Snell is a solid rotation player, a 3-and-D guy who is improving on both ends of the floor . . . Kirk Hinrich will see time at both guard spots, though he's primarily a defensive presence at this point . . . If Rose is hurt again, Aaron Brooks is most likely to take over at the point . . . E'Twaun Moore is kicking around as a practice player. Pau Gasol looked ageless for most of last season. He's going to have a lot of fun dissecting defenses in Hoiberg's system . . . Mike Dunleavy is back as a spot-up shooter on offense and agitator on defense, but could miss the first month of the season with an injured ankle . . . Nikola Mirotic is already a very good player. He'll see time at both forward spots, but he can dominate as a playmaking power forward . . . Taj Gibson needed offseason ankle surgery, but he should be back as a quality rim protector and solid offensive threat . . . The hope is that Doug McDermott is simply a better fit in Hoiberg's three-happy system after spending the year buried on the bench for Tom Thibodeau's grind-it-out team . . . Bobby Portis figures to be more of an understudy to Gibson as a rookie. The Bulls will have to be careful with Joakim Noah's regular-season minutes, and certainly his offensive struggles in last year's playoffs were worrisome. Still, despite his reputation as a Thibodeau guy, he's an underrated passer who should do solid work in Hoiberg's system.
PREVIEW
Nuggets-Bulls Preview
By MATT BECKER STATS Editor

Just over a month into the season, the Chicago Bulls' offense still hasn't taken off in Fred Hoiberg's up-tempo system.

They're still well ahead of the Denver Nuggets.

Coming off a scrappy win over one of the league's best teams, the Bulls look to send the scuffling Nuggets to an eighth straight loss Wednesday night at the United Center.

Chicago (10-5) has the Eastern Conference's third-best record but the success hasn't been a product of Hoiberg's touted fast-paced offense. The Bulls are averaging 98.9 points, 1.9 less than last season when they ranked 15th under the defensive-oriented Tom Thibodeau.

They channeled their old defensive mindset late Monday against San Antonio, getting blocks from Pau Gasol and Derrick Rose in the final 66 seconds to hang on for a 92-89 win.

''It was one of those nights where everybody that stepped out on the floor not only contributed but contributed in a big way,'' Hoiberg said.

The contributions were much greater on the defensive end, however, as the offense again failed to find any rhythm. The Bulls didn't make a field goal in the final 6:31, missing four attempts and committing three turnovers, and leading scorer Jimmy Butler finished with as many field goals (five) as turnovers.

Chicago has scored 94 or fewer in each of its last four games while shooting 38.9 percent.

In the last two, Butler has totaled 30 points and nine turnovers while Rose has 21 points on 27.3 percent shooting. Gasol is shooting 30.6 percent in the last three.

The Nuggets (6-12) have been an even bigger mess offensively, recording 80, 81 and 74 points in the last three games.

They had their lowest point total of the season in Monday's 92-74 loss to Milwaukee, turning the ball over a season-high 24 turnovers while getting outscored 52-36 in the paint.

''We've got to find a way to wake up and win some games because we definitely cannot keep doing what we're doing and playing the way we play,'' said leading scorer Danilo Gallinari, who is shooting 28.6 percent during the losing streak. ''We've got to want to win the game. We've got to put more effort.''

Stepping up in the second half would go a long way to help Denver avoid its first eight-game skid since Dec. 17, 2013-Jan. 1, 2014.

The Nuggets were down by two to the Bucks at halftime before being outscored 46-30 after the break. During its losing streak, Denver is averaging 51.7 points and 40.4 percent 3-point shooting in the first half and 39.6 points and 23.3 percent shooting on 3s in the second.

''We're one of the poorer shooting teams in the NBA, one of the poorer finishing teams in the NBA,'' coach Michael Malone said.

The Nuggets are also one of the worst road teams in the league. They were 2-6 away from Denver in November, with their wins coming against New Orleans and the Los Angeles Lakers - the only teams they're ahead of in the West.

They've lost two straight in Chicago and have one win in their last 13 games at East arenas.

Denver split last season's two games with the Bulls, with Butler totaling 58 points and 17 rebounds.
