Chicago Bulls vs Denver Nuggets Final Score & Over/Under Result — Oct 11, 2026

Leonard Miller's 26-point outburst powered Chicago's offense, but it wasn't enough to overcome Denver's depth in a high-scoring affair that blew past the market total. The Bulls and Nuggets combined for 261 points—27.5 points over the 233.5 opening line—as both teams leaned heavily on their perimeter contributors. Miller's production, paired with 17 points and 5 assists from C. Wilson and 15 points from Buddy Hield, kept the Bulls competitive throughout, yet Denver's balanced attack proved decisive down the stretch.

The second quarter set the tone for an offensive showcase, with the two teams combining for 71 points—the game's highest-scoring frame. Denver's 30 first-quarter points matched Chicago's early resistance, but the Bulls answered with 41 in the second to keep pace at halftime with a combined 127 points. The second half tightened considerably, though both squads remained in rhythm: 66 combined in Q3 and 68 in Q4 maintained the elevated scoring pace throughout.

Aaron Gordon led Denver with 25 points and 6 rebounds, while Nikola Jokić orchestrated the Nuggets' offense with a near-triple-double of 22 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists. Cameron Johnson contributed 15 points off the bench. DAGGER leaned over the adjusted 235.5 close, and it cashed decisively, as the late-moving total proved too conservative for a matchup between two offensively capable rosters playing at a high tempo.
