Jazz vs Bulls Prediction
The Bulls should have Josh Giddey back in the lineup, but they have upgraded Coby White to questionable for this contest, while the Jazz are keeping an eye on Kyle Anderson, who is questionable with back soreness. The Bulls have cooled off a bit recently with a few injuries starting to pile up, but they are expecting to have Giddey back which is a real boost given how important he is to the offense.
The Jazz come into this contest as a team that’s struggling a bit right now, but they are always dangerous at home, where they are 3-3 on the season so far. You can make an argument for either side, but the Bulls have been the better team this season, and I think they get a much-needed win and cover at this modest line on the road.
