Jazz at Bulls picks and predictions
Prediction
Bulls 120, Jazz 115
PASS.
Avoid this play and look below for the preferred wager. The Bulls (-145) are the play here but are slightly too expensive to take on the moneyline.
BET BULLS -2.5 (-115).
While beating the Cavaliers on the road is impressive, the Jazz lost to the Charlotte Hornets by 55 points in the game prior. Utah has lost 4 of its last 5 away games, with 2 of those losses coming by double figures. Its defense has been a major issue, allowing at least 118 points in those 4 road defeats.
The Bulls, despite their recent shortcomings, are 8-6 over their last 14 contests. In every win, they have covered the spread as well. Chicago has won 3 of its last 4 at home.
Take BULLS -2.5 (-115).
BET UNDER 244.5 (-105).
This total is just too high for how these teams have been competing. The Bulls are 1-4 O/U in their last 5 contests, eclipsing 113 points in just one of those games. They have allowed fewer than 120 points in all 5 performances.
The Jazz are 3-6 O/U in their last 9 games. They have topped 120 points in just 2 of their previous 8 games. Given the trends for both sides, back UNDER 244.5 (-105).
