Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic dropped 33 points, 12 rebounds, and 14 assists on 15-21 shooting in a losing effort, while Bulls star Zach LaVine led Chicago with 21 points. The Bulls picked up their 20th win of the season in a big surprise upset over Denver, giving the team something to be happy about as they head toward a gloomy trade deadline.

“Zach LaVine will be out for Wednesday’s game in Boston due to personal reasons, per Billy Donovan,” Julia Poe said in a post. “He is likely to miss this entire road trip. LaVine and his wife Hunter recently announced that they are expecting their third child.”

Nikola Vučević is in rare form this season and contending teams could benefit from a stretch-center shooting 40.6% from 3-point range.
