This is the first meeting between the Jazz and the Bulls this season. The Jazz are on a 3 game winning streak and have won 8 out of the last 10 games.
The Bulls, on the other hand, are having had an up and down season. Inconsistent play has plagued them on both ends of the court. The Jazz are only just starting to play their best basketball and will be looking to extend their winning streak away from home.
Utah Jazz
The Jazz has been playing some of their best basketball these past couples of weeks. They would be looking to extend their winning streak and are on a six-game stretch against opponents that have losing records.

It is a stretch that the Jazz would want to build upon in terms of confidence and improving offensively. The Jazz plays a tenacious style of basketball with aggressive defense and rebounding. Their offense, however, does go through spurts of inconsistency against tougher opponents.
Donovan Mitchell is obviously the Jazz’s offensive focal point and will be looking to have a big offensive game. One of the weaknesses the Jazz does have is that when Mitchell averages below 40.0 % in field goals their offense stalls.
The Bulls, however, do not really possess a defense that consistently stops opponents. LaVine is capable offensively but leaves much to be desired on defense.
The Jazz will also take advantage of the Bulls younger frontcourt. Gobert and Bojan Bogdanovic will able to stretch the floor offensively and win the rebounding battle. If the Jazz prevents an early lead by the Bulls this game should be in the bag.
Chicago Bulls
The Bulls are starting a stretch of games at home against tough opponents. They just lost to the high flying Milwaukee Bucks. They now have to face a confident Jazz team and will then face Boston.
It is very likely they will end these home games on a three-game losing streak. The Bulls don’t have a good record with teams in the league who have a record above .500.
The Jazz also plays a similar style of basketball than the Bulls. The difference is that the Jazz are a better team than the Bulls talent-wise.
The Bulls will have their hands full both in the backcourt and the frontcourt. Donovan Mitchell has been playing some of his best basketball. The Bulls’ only way of neutralizing Mitchell’s impact on the game would be to match him shot for shot.
This task will have to fall on Zach LaVine who has been disappointing this season. If LaVine can come up big offensively at home, the Bulls might have some a chance.
The Jazz frontcourt lead by the rebounding machine Rudy Gobert will cause a lot of problems for the Bulls. There is no one on the Bulls frontcourt that matches up well against Gobert. Wendell Carter Jr. is a serviceable big man for Chicago but will find it tough against Gobert.
