Bulls tipoff

Denver Nuggets at the United Center, 7 p.m.

TV: Comcast SportsNet

Radio: ESPN 1000-AM

Update: The Bulls would have remembered the 128-96 loss at Denver on Feb. 7 as their worst of the season, but then that Sacramento game blew it out of the water. The Nuggets (45-22) have won 11 straight, including four in a row at normal altitude on the road. PG Ty Lawson is the top scorer at 16.8 ppg., followed closely by SF Danilo Gallinari at 16.4, with Andre Iguodala, Kenneth Faried, Corey Brewer and Wilson Chandler all in double figures. The Bulls have dropped three straight in the series.
