Zach LaVine continues to be a person of interest with the trade deadline inching closer and closer. The Chicago Bulls currently have a 20-27 record, and logically, LaVine is a candidate to be traded away with the future of the team in mind.

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.

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