PREVIEW: Chicago Bulls vs Utah Jazz: A Clash of Playoff Hopefuls

In a pivotal matchup, the Chicago Bulls are aiming to complete a season sweep against the struggling Utah Jazz as they clash once again on Wednesday. With the absence of key players like Patrick Williams and Zach LaVine, the Bulls face a challenging task to maintain their dominance over the Jazz.

The Chicago Bulls are heavily reliant on their core trio of DeMar DeRozan, Coby White, and Nikola Vucevic, especially in the absence of Zach LaVine. White has stepped up to lead the team's charge towards securing a spot in the play-in tournament. However, consistency among their key players will be crucial for the Bulls to overcome the Jazz once again.

On the other side, the Utah Jazz have faced a downward spiral since early February, dropping to a 2-8 record in their last 10 games. Injuries to key players like Lauri Markkanen and Walker Kessler have further compounded their struggles. The Jazz will need to rediscover their winning form and rally together to stand a chance against the Bulls.

In terms of starting lineups, the Bulls are expected to field DeRozan, Vucevic, White, Alex Caruso, and Ayo Dosunmu, while the Jazz are likely to deploy John Collins, Luka Samanic, Omer Yurtseven, Collin Sexton, and Keyonte George.
