Chicago Bulls Betting Preview

The Chicago Bulls have been in fine form as they have won six of their last 10 games overall. They will be hoping to bounce back here after having their four-game win streak halted by the Rockets in a 117-114 road defeat on Saturday. Coby White led the team with 23 points, seven rebounds, and four assists, Tre Jones added 19 points with six assists while Nikola Vucevic chipped in with 15 points, seven rebounds, and three assists. As a team, the Bulls shot 46 percent from the field and 14 of 38 from the 3-point line as they poured in 65 points in the first half to take the early lead. But they've been banged up and their lack of depth came back to bite them in the third quarter where they managed just 18 points to allow the Rockets to run them down in the end. Cobt White has been terrific for the Bulls lately, but he had an off night as he shot just seven of 21 from the field and one of seven from the 3-point line. Jalen Smith shot just two of seven from the field and zero of five from the 3-point line to finish with just four points. 

Utah Jazz Betting Preview

Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz have been in terrible shape as they've lost 13 of their last 15 games overall and they will be hoping to snap a nine-game losing streak after getting thrashed by the Timberwolves in a 128-102 road defeat last night. Collin Sexton led the team with 22 points on nine of 18 shooting, Lauri Markkanen added 16 points while Walker Kessler chipped in with 15 points and 19 rebounds. As a team, the Jazz shot 43 percent from the field and 12 of 38 from the 3-point line as they struggled from the tipoff and immediately fell behind by double digits. Things only got worse in the third quarter where they leaked 37 points to trail by as many as 31 points at one stage. 

Why the Utah Jazz will win

  • The Bulls have lost five of their last six games as favorites against opponents who are on the second leg of a back-to-back.
  • The Jazz have won eight of their nine previous home games on the second leg of a back-to-back against the Bulls.
  • The Bulls have failed to cover the spread in eight of their last nine games against Western Conference opponents that held a losing record.
  • The underdogs have covered the spread in four of the Jazz's last five games.

Why the Chicago Bulls will win

  • The Jazz have lost each of their last nine games.

  • The Jazz have failed to cover the spread in seven of their last eight games at Delta Center against Central Division opponents that held a losing record.
  • The Bulls have covered the spread in seven of their last eight games against teams that held a losing record.

Total Points Facts

  • Each of the Bulls' last five games as favorites against opponents who are on the second leg of a back-to-back has gone UNDER the total points line.
  • Each of the Jazz's last four home games on the second leg of a back-to-back has gone OVER the total points line.

Chicago Bulls vs Utah Jazz Prediction

The Bulls are still missing Lonzo Ball and Josh Giddey, while the Jazz have ruled out Keyonte George, Jordan Clarkson, and John Collins again. The Bulls are missing some key players, but they are nowhere near as banged up as the Jazz are at the moment. The Bulls have been in surprisingly good form lately, and they almost took down the red-hot Rockets despite a poor shooting night from White in their last game. The line is short enough for this one, so I will stick with the more consistent Bulls to take advantage of this severely depleted Jazz team.
