Jazz at Bulls: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Jazz 120, Bulls 113
Money line (ML)
The Jazz have sputtered as of late, with five of their 11 total losses this season coming in the last 10 games. They’re just 3-4 overall in their last seven, most recently beating the Raptors on Friday night.
The Bulls are 1-2 in their last three games and 4-6 in their last 10, coming off a win over the Pistons on Sunday.
Utah is well-rested and despite potentially missing Gobert, they’re equipped to take care of an inferior Bulls team on the road.
Take the JAZZ (-450) to win outright, though only make it a small position because of how little reward comes with the money line.

Against the spread (ATS)
The Jazz have only covered the spread once in their last seven games, dropping their record against the spread to 26-15 on the year. Still an impressive mark, but the Bulls have been better when it comes to covering as of late (4-1 ATS in their last five).
The Jazz should win this game, but the BULLS +9 (-110) will keep it close enough to cover the 9-point spread.
Over/Under (O/U)
The Over/Under is 227.5 points tonight, which is the lowest in the Jazz’s last seven games. Both teams rank in the top 12 in points per game, with Utah checking in at No. 3 (116.7 PPG).
Even if Gobert can’t play, the total will go OVER 227.5 (-115). The Over has hit in six of the Jazz’s last nine games.
