Historic games talk about historic rivalries and which is a better rivalry than Western Conference’s Utah Jazz and Eastern Conference's Chicago Bulls. The Bulls' famous period with the Utah Jazz has been documented well and we are aware of the high potential that these games bring in. As a result, every time these teams go against each other, NBA fans are left with close encounters that will keep them on their toes.
Thanks to that, the upcoming game between these giants won’t be any different and the United Center arena is going to witness something special.
Away games are always a tough barrier to cross with all that comes into play as a home-court advantage for the home team. With the game taking place at the United Center, the Bulls have that advantage and considering they are at the top, they can put up a great game against the Utah Jazz. However, we can sense the right tone of unpredictability that could come into this game and take things elsewhere.
Due to that, the game has the chance to be something that you expected and something that you didn’t. With all that lies at stake, both teams from two different conferences will have to showcase all that they have.
The mouthwatering clash between the Utah Jazz and the Chicago Bulls will take place on the 31st of Oct at the United Center.
1. Lineup of the season
Analysing the lineup of the season will give you a general idea of the direction in which the game can proceed. While the Utah Jazz has the likes of Donovan Mitchell, Royce O’Neale, Bojan Bogdanovic, Rudy Gobert and Mike Conley making headlines, the Chicago Bulls fire in with Lonzo Ball, Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, Nikola Vucevic and Alex Caruso. With the potential and talent that these players bring in, you could expect both teams to go for the win and take it all away.
Since they have all been busy performing to the best of their abilities, the main clash between Jazz and Bulls or the games that these teams have before that will bring out their unique form that has always been appreciated for good. With the spirit of winning being defined, one cannot wait for this big game.
2. The Playoff Favourites
Both the Chicago Bulls and the Utah Jazz are predicted to enter the playoffs and that should certainly keep you informed about the kind of odds that rests with these teams. While the Chicago Bulls showed their intent in bringing DeMar DeRozan and Lonzo Ball to their camp, Utah Jazz drafted Baylor guard Jared Butler and critics claim that Bulls had a better offseason. The moves seem to place the Bulls much higher in rank and everyone tends to agree with the nature of their business.
However, one cannot disregard Utah Jazz as they have all the calibre to turn things their way. After all, they are also in line with the Bulls as favourites to enter the playoff.
3. Utah Jazz at United Centre

The home advantage always plays an important role in this fixture but the nature of unpredictability that comes from games of this sort should also be taken into consideration. Due to that, a favourable line can be extended towards the Bulls, but that should not eliminate the potential that Jazz brings to the table.
With the Utah Jazz’s record at the United Center leading to both wins and losses, you can expect a tricky situation to take place sooner or later.
