The Utah Jazz travel to Illinois to play the Chicago Bulls at United Center on Saturday.

The Jazz (42-30) are playing some of their best ball of the season right now, as they come into this matchup winning five of their last six games. Those victories have been absolutely dominant too, with the Jazz winning by at least 16 points in all five wins. That shows just how scary this team can be on both ends of the floor but they remain in jeopardy of landing the eight-seed in the west. In fact, Utah is just half a game up on the San Antonio Spurs in eighth but sit just half a game behind the Oklahoma City Thunder in fifth. That means anything can happen these final few weeks, as homecourt advantage is a priority for all of these clubs.

The Bulls (21-52) come into this matchup losing seven of their last 10 games. It's easy to see why when looking at their season-long form but it's hard to figure out why when looking at the roster. This team is full of young and talented players and that makes it tough to understand why the season has been so bad. Zach LaVine and Lauri Markkanen have been spectacular and that alone is enough to carry an offense. What's bizarre about that is the fact that the Bulls rank 27th in scoring. That's unacceptable from such a talented core and they need to find some rhythm on that end of the floor in order to see some wins. Adding Otto Porter to the mix should definitely help and this group appears to be in a good spot heading forward despite the rough record.

This is the second and final meeting between these teams, with Utah winning the first game at home, 110-102. Coming into the year, the Bulls won four of their previous five games over the Jazz.
