Bulls vs. Jazz Betting Prediction
It's been a rough season thus far for both of these teams. The Jazz's situation is looking especially dire at the moment considering both their current losing streak and their alarming number of injuries ahead of tonight. Worse still, the Jazz have displayed subpar defense of late which has cost them time and time again.
Despite being marked as the underdogs heading into tonight, the Bulls are looking considerably better on paper with fewer injuries and fewer consecutive losses. While their season overall hasn't been great, and the absence of Lonzo Ball has been sorely felt, there's every chance they can pick up an upset win here and extend the Jazz's losing ways.
Prediction: Bulls +2 (-107)
