The Utah Jazz play host to the Chicago Bulls at the Delta Center on Wednesday night. Here’s a Jazz vs Bulls Prediction.

Chicago Bulls

The Chicago Bulls have been in decent shape as they’ve won three of their last five games and they will be looking to keep it going after sneaking past the Kings in a 113-109 road win on Monday. Coby White led the team with 37 points and seven assists, DeMar DeRozan added 33 points on 10 of 12 shooting while Ayo Dosunmu chipped in with 20 points and five assists. As a team, the Bulls shot 50 percent from the field and 11 of 32 from the 3-point line as they looked to be in deep trouble when they trailed by 22 points in the third quarter, before they flipped a switch and dominated the fourth quarter by 36-18 to come away with the impressive comeback win on the road.

Utah Jazz

Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz have been in a real funk as they’ve lost eight of their last 10 games overall, but they will be looking to build some momentum after snapping a three-game skid with a 127-115 win over the Wizards on Monday. Jordan Clarkson led the team with 38 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists, Collin Sexton added 29 points with seven assists while John Collins chipped in with 17 points, 15 rebounds and six blocks. As a team, the Jazz shot 48 percent from the field and 16 of 40 from the 3-point line as they clawed their way back from an early 14-point deficit, before they went on a decisive 12-0 run in the fourth quarter to win by double digits in the end.

Utah Jazz Team Facts

  • The Jazz have won seven of their last eight games as home underdogs against Central Division opponents.
  • The Jazz have failed to cover the spread in each of their last seven home games against Central Division opponents that held a losing record.
  • Each of the Jazz’s last five games as home underdogs against opponents who are on the first leg of a back-to-back have gone OVER the total points line.

Chicago Bulls Team Facts

  • The Bulls have lost each of their last eight road games following a road win.
  • The road team has covered the spread in seven of the Bulls’ last eight games.
  • Eight of the Bulls’ last nine games as road favorites following a road win have gone OVER the total points line.

Jazz vs Bulls Prediction

Patrick Williams and Torrey Craig are still missing for the Bulls, while the Jazz have ruled out Otto Porter Jr, Lauri Markannen and Keyonte George. The Bulls are coming into this one with plenty of momentum after beating the Kings in an impressive comeback win on Monday, while the Jazz have continued to struggle with the injuries starting to pile up. The line is short enough, so I’m keeping this one simple and I’m taking the Bulls to maintain their momentum with another win and cover on the road.
