The Bulls may be without PG Derrick Rose yet again, but can they overcome the high-powered Nuggets offense without him?
The Chicago Bulls (40-10) look to build their win streak to five straight against the Denver Nuggets (26-23) on Monday night, even though they may be again without two of their starters, reigning MVP PG Derrick Rose and free agent acquisition SG Richard Hamilton:
Derrick and Rip are game time calls according to Thibs -- so, of course, that means they are out tonight.
