The Bulls are 3-3 on the road this season.
Utah Jazz
The Jazz have one of the best defenses in the league ranking 2nd in opponents’ points allowed, but only rank 26th in the league in points per game.
While Utah shot a better FG% than the Grizzlies in their loss to them and they forced more turnovers Memphis shot the 3 well while Utah did not.
Only 2 starters for the Jazz scored in double figures in the Memphis game and Gordan Hayward only went for 13 points on 4/14 shooting and he missed 6 of his 7 3-pointers.
The Jazz have to hit the glass better than they did in the Grizzlies game, as they gave up 14 offensive boards and they cannot give the Bulls 2nd chances like that in this game.
Like the Bulls the Jazz will also be shorthanded in this game, as 2nd leading scorer George Hill is questionable with a thumb injury and Derrick Favors (10.5 ppg 6.5 rpg) is out with a knee injury.
