Denver Nuggets vs Chicago Bulls Final Score & Over/Under Result — Feb 7, 2026

Jamal Murray's 28 points and 11 assists anchored Denver's offensive efficiency in a 136–120 victory over Chicago, pushing the combined score to 256 and cashing an OVER bet against the market's 235.5 projection. DAGGER leaned under and missed as the game's structure—paced by a blistering third quarter—proved more conducive to scoring than either team's recent form suggested.

The Nuggets rode strong early execution, combining for 75 points in the first quarter before tempo dipped sharply in Q2, when both teams managed just 49 combined. Nikola Jokić (22 points, 14 rebounds, 17 assists) distributed effectively throughout, while Tim Hardaway Jr. added 23 points to diversify Denver's attack. Chicago kept pace behind Matas Buzelis (21 points, 8 rebounds) and Collin Sexton (17 points, 4 assists), but lacked the depth to sustain pressure across four quarters. The teams combined for 77 points in Q3—the game's most explosive frame—which proved the deciding swing. Denver's fourth-quarter onslaught (39 combined points) sealed the margin despite Chicago's resilience across 40 minutes. This matchup followed a tightly contested 130–127 meeting earlier in the season, when these teams combined for 257 points; Denver's defensive tightening in the final frame and superior ball movement separated them this time, even as Chicago's recent 118.4 scoring average proved insufficient.
