KEY GAME INFORMATION
CHICAGO: LAST SEASON: 27-55, missed playoffs.
COACH: Fred Hoiberg (fourth season).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: Kris Dunn (13.4 ppg), G Zach LaVine (16.7 ppg), F Justin Holiday (12.2 ppg), F Jabari Parker (12.6 ppg, Milwaukee), C Robin Lopez (11.8 ppg).
KEY LOSSES: G Jerian Grant, G David Nwaba
KEY ADDITIONS: Parker, F Wendell Carter Jr., F Chandler Hutchison
PLAYERS TO WATCH: F Lauri Markkanen is expected to miss the first few weeks because of a high grade lateral elbow sprain he suffered in practice. From Finland, Markkanen, averaged 15.2 points and 7.5 rebounds in 68 games as a rookie last season. The Bulls are counting on LaVine to show he can be the cornerstone piece they envisioned when they acquired him along with Dunn and the rights to Markkanen from Minnesota for Jimmy Butler in the 2017 draft night trade. He was limited to 24 games last season, missing the first 42 while recovering from a torn ACL in his left knee and then sitting out the final 14 because of tendinitis in the same knee. That didn't stop Chicago from matching Sacramento's four-year, $80 million offer sheet for LaVine.
OUTLOOK: Though the Bulls hardly look like contenders in the Eastern Conference, the potential to make a jump is there. That hinges on improvement from Markkanen, LaVine and Dunn, Parker staying healthy and contributing, and maybe Carter chipping in after being drafted with the No. 7 overall pick.
DENVER: LAST SEASON: 46-36, missed playoffs.
COACH: Michael Malone (fourth season).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Gary Harris (17.5 ppg) G Jamal Murray (16.7 ppg), F Will Barton (15.7 ppg), F Paul Millsap (14.6 ppg), C Nikola Jokic (18.5 ppg).
KEY LOSSES: F Wilson Chandler, F Kenneth Faried, F Richard Jefferson, F Darrell Arthur, G Devin Harris
KEY ADDITIONS: G Isaiah Thomas, F Michael Porter Jr.
PLAYERS TO WATCH: In the offseason, Jokic signed a max deal contract worth around $147 million for five seasons. He's one of the top big men in the game. The Serbian standout turned in 10 triple-doubles last season, including the fastest triple-double in NBA history. He needed just 14 minutes, 55 seconds to reach the accomplishment at Milwaukee on Feb. 15. Jokic is the centerpiece for an organization trying to get to the postseason for the first time since 2012-13.
OUTLOOK: The addition of Thomas gives the Nuggets even more veteran leadership. They're stacked, but so is the rest of the Western Division. Denver has improved each season under Malone, going from 33 wins his first year, to 40 in 2016-17 and 46 last season. The Nuggets lost out on the eighth and final playoff spot in '17-18 when they lost in overtime at Minnesota on the final game of the regular season.
PREVIEW
Nuggets' bounce-back chance comes vs. Bulls
 

The Denver Nuggets took it on the chin against the best in the Western Conference, so facing one of the worst teams in the East two days later is a welcome reprieve and a chance to show they learned something from the loss.

The lesson was a harsh one, and it came at the hands of the two-time reigning champion.

A 142-111 home loss to Golden State knocked Denver (29-14) a half-game behind the Warriors in the Western Conference standings, but with the Chicago Bulls in town Thursday night there's no time to mope.

"We'll watch some film, learn there," guard Jamal Murray said after the loss.

The Nuggets had their 12-game home winning streak snapped but can start a new streak against a Bulls team that is clearly in rebuilding mode. Chicago (10-34) has lost eight in a row and is on its second head coach this season.

The Bulls have some talent, namely guard Zach LaVine and second-year forward Lauri Markkanen, but they should be no match for Denver.

The Nuggets should know they can't take anyone lightly -- even Chicago. It's a lesson they learned last year when the struggling Atlanta Hawks came in and beat them at Pepsi Center. Denver missed the playoffs by one game.

"We need to fail big because then you're going to start thinking about what you did to bring you to that high level," center Nikola Jokic said after Tuesday's game. "We're not a bad team. This fail is going to make us think about what we did to get to this level."

Chicago is struggling, but it's a scrappy team. The Bulls, in a 107-100 loss at the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday, trailed by 10 late but made the Lakers work for the win. But without a dominant talent to help carry them, it is difficult to win on the road.

"We have to play better basketball for more of the game. We played about 28 to 35 minutes of good basketball and had 12 minutes of not-good basketball," Bulls coach Jim Boylen said after the game.

"We don't have enough firepower to be able to turn it on and take over the game. We have to plow through it and get the lead and hold on to it."

That might be hard to do against Denver.

The Nuggets sat atop the Western Conference despite playing for long stretches without three starters. Will Barton and Paul Millsap are back, and guard Gary Harris is close to returning from a left hamstring injury that has sidelined him the last five games.

Harris was questionable to play Thursday.

Chicago might be without rookie forward Wendell Carter Jr., who has a sprained left thumb after the team feared a more serious injury. Carter, considered day-to-day, is averaging 10.3 points and 7.0 rebounds per game.

The Bulls also have a revenge angle to work. They had Denver beat at home on Halloween, but Millsap's put-back at the overtime buzzer gave the Nuggets a 108-107 win.

Trying to avenge that loss might have been an advantage, but after the Nuggets were routed at home by Golden State, they are likely to want to want to make a statement.

"Hopefully this can be a motivating factor for us," coach Michael Malone said Tuesday night.
