Chicago will travel to Utah on Wednesday for a battle versus the Jazz. For the latest NBA betting trends and NBA free picks on Wednesday’s game, check out our Jazz vs Bulls preview below.
Bulls Looking To Beat A Good Team
If the Chicago Bulls are going to want to prove to people that they can be the team that they think they are, they’re going to have to finally take down a good opponent.
Chicago hasn’t been playing great basketball as of late as they’re going to be coming in only winning four of their last 10 games. They were unable to come away with a victory against a below-average Sacramento Kings team on Monday as they lost 112-103. Zach LaVine led the way in the loss with 27 points.
On the season, Chicago has the 15th rated net rating, the eighth-ranked offensive rating, and the 21st rated defensive rating.
Jazz Want To Bounce Back
The Utah Jazz are in an interesting position because they haven’t been as dominant as they usually are in the regular season, but this could be a good thing for this team because they should be able to play their best basketball when it really matters most come playoff time. Utah is going to be coming into this one after a tough loss against arguably the best team in the NBA in the Milwaukee Bucks.
Mike Conley Jr was finally able to get back in rhythm as he finished with 29 points on Monday.
The Utah Jazz currently have the number three rated net rating, the number one rated offensive rating, and the number 14 rated defensive rating.

Free NBA Picks — Bulls vs Jazz
For this game, I like the Utah Jazz to win outright. When factoring in that Chicago is 0-14 against teams that are top four in each conference, it seems inevitable that they were going to add to that lost total on Wednesday.
Utah is not an easy place to play at which leads me to believe that Chicago has virtually no chance in this one.
