Chicago Bulls vs. Utah Jazz Preview

On the season the Bulls are 5-8 ATS and they have an O/U record of 6-6-1 and the Jazz are 7-7 ATS and they have an Under record of 7-7.

[dfads params=’groups=63742&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

This season the Jazz are 3-3 at home and the Bulls are 6-2 on the road.

In their last games the Bulls lost to the Portland Trailblazers 105-87 and the Jazz lost to the New Orleans Pelicans 106-94.

Both of these 2 teams have lost 2 straight and the Bulls look to avoid losing 3 straight regular season games for the first time in almost a year. They were throttled in their last game playing shorthanded without Derrick Rose, Pau Gasol, and Kirk Hinrich, who are all questionable for tonight’s game. On top of that Taj Gibson, is likely out as well after being injured in the last game.

The Bulls’ offense has really struggled in their 2-game losing streak where they failed to score 88 points and whot under 40% from the floor in each. Also their D has given up an average of 104 ppg in their last 2 games.

The Jazz are struggling on both sides of the court this season, as they rank 23rd in the league in points per game and 22nd in opponents points allowed.

These 2 teams split the 2 games facing each other last season.

Jimmy Butler leads the Bulls in scoring, but the next 3 leading scorers may not play tonight and the likes of Mike Dunleavy and Aaron Brooks have to step up in the scoring department.

The Jazz were killed in their last game by New Orleans’ Anthony Davis and while the Bulls don’t have a C that is a big time scorer they have to body up on Joakim Noah and not let him dominate the glass.

The Jazz leading scorer is Gordon Hayward and the big man duo of Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter are combining to average over 27 ppg.

It is key that the Jazz shoot the rock well from the outside tonight to open up the lane for the big guys,
