Utah Jazz vs. Chicago Bulls preview

The struggling Utah Jazz host the Chicago Bulls at Delta Center in what's shaping up to be a challenging matchup for the home team, who've dropped their last nine straight games.

Chicago's been finding their groove lately, with Coby White emerging as their offensive catalyst - he's been lighting it up with 19.1 points per game and showing real chemistry with center Nikola Vucevic.

The Jazz's defense has been their Achilles' heel this season, sitting dead last in defensive rating while giving up nearly 120 points per game - something the Bulls' eighth-ranked offense will surely look to exploit.

Utah's got their work cut out for them playing on zero rest after Sunday's Minnesota game, and missing key pieces like Jordan Clarkson and Keyonte George only makes their uphill battle steeper.

The Bulls haven't exactly been lockdown defenders themselves, but they've managed to put together a solid 6-4 run over their last ten games despite missing Lonzo Ball and Josh Giddey.

Keep an eye on Lauri Markkanen, who's been one of the few bright spots for Utah this season, putting up 19.1 points per game against his former team.

These teams have split their last ten meetings right down the middle, though Utah did get the better of Chicago in their earlier matchup this season with a 135-126 win back in November.

With both teams ranking among the league's fastest-paced squads and neither showing much interest in defense lately, this one's got all the makings of an up-and-down scoring fest.
