DeRozan also unstoppable in Utah?
The Utah Jazz vs. the Chicago Bulls is a West-East duel in the NBA. A tip and odds are presented below. The home side won the only match-up in 2022 last March at home 125-110.
Not a new pattern: Only one of the last seven duels was lost by the hosts. Chicago, however, travels in a stable condition. The visitors have recently beaten the two strongest teams in the Eastern Conference, Milwaukee and Boston, among others.
Utah Jazz – Statistics & Current Form
The Salt Lake City hoopsters are in a respectable eighth place in the West. Against Chicago, Utah can also count on the home bonus. Head coach Will Hardy’s team has won six of its eight home games this season.
On the other hand, the only home losses so far have come against Detroit and the Knicks in the last three home games, which is why the home strength has diminished recently.
Chicago Bulls – Statistics & current form
The Bulls may only be in the lower midfield in the East standings, but the potential of the basketballers from the United Center can be considered high.
The aforementioned victories of the six-time champions against the top teams from Milwaukee and Boston last week clearly showed this.
The league leaders from the “Bean City” even suffered their second defeat of the season. This means that half of the Celtics’ losses have come against Chicago!
Admittedly, the two wins were recently followed by a defeat against Oklahoma, but this one was very close, as it only came after overtime.
Utah Jazz – Chicago Bulls Tip
In the game between Utah Jazz and Chicago Bulls, the tip includes more than 27.5 points by DeMar DeRozan on the visitors’ side.
The small forward once again delivered his team’s best scoring output in the most recent game against OKC with 30 points and has acted as the strongest weapon on the offensive end so far this season.
The five-time All-Star is now on a streak of five games in which he has always scored at least 28 points and averaged 32.6!
Another factor in favour of the prediction is that the home side’s form has been on the decline recently: Utah have lost seven of their last nine league games and DeRozan is particularly accurate away from home.
With an average of around 31.3 points, the 33-year-old has scored ten points more in away games than at home in the United Center.
