Utah Jazz vs Chicago Bulls Prediction NBA Picks 11/4/24

The Utah Jazz pay a visit to the Chicago Bulls at the United Center on Monday night. Here’s a Utah Jazz vs Chicago Bulls Prediction. This article will include a Utah Jazz vs Chicago Bulls Pick.

The Utah Jazz have been the coldest team in the league so far as they’ve still yet to win a game and things don’t look promising if you go off their performance in Saturday’s 129-103 loss to the Nuggets. Walker Kessler led the team with 18 points, 14 rebounds, and five blocks, Johnny Juzang added 17 points off the bench, Keyonte George scored 16 points with eight assists while John Collins chipped in with 15 points and five assists. As a team, the Jazz shot just 41 percent from the field and 13 or 42 from the 3-point line as they got off to a terrible start and leaked 37 points in the first quarter before they went ice-cold and scored just 19 points in the third quarter to allow the Nuggets to put the game to bed early. Cody Williams had a rough game as he finished with just four points on two of 11 shooting. 

Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls have split their first six games overall, but they will be hoping to bounce back in this one after coming just short to the Nets in a 120-112 road defeat on Friday. Nikola Vucevic led the team with 28 points and 11 rebounds on 10 of 11 shooting, Coby White and Zach LaVine each scored 21 points while Josh Giddey chipped in with 11 points and eight assists. As a team, the Bulls shot 43 percent from the field and 17 of 44 from the 3-point line as they worked hard to claw their way back from an early 17-point deficit, only to go cold and score just three points in the final 3:30 to allow the Nets off the hook in a disappointing finish. 

Why the Chicago Bulls will win

• The Jazz have lost each of their last nine games following a road loss.
• The Bulls have won eight of their last nine home games against Northwest Division opponents that held a losing record.
• The Jazz have failed to cover the spread in eight of their last nine games as underdogs following a road loss.
• The Bulls have covered the spread in each of their last four games as favorites following a road loss.

The Jazz are still missing Jordan Clarkson and they have Lauri Markkanen listed as questionable, while the Bulls are still missing Lonzo Ball and they have Zach LaVine listed as questionable. The Jazz really can’t buy a win these days and they looked toothless in their big loss to the Nuggets on Saturday, while the Bulls were starting to heat up before they lost to the Nets in their last game. You would’ve done well if you’ve been fading the Jazz and I don’t see any reason to change that strategy the way they’ve been playing. The Bulls are banged up at the moment, but they are clearly the better team and should have no trouble covering this modest line.
