Randy’s Pick

The Utah Jazz look like a mess all of a sudden with losses in 4 of their last 5 games, they haven't won on the road yet, and they're not playing a lick of defense. With that said, the Bulls aren't playing any better on either end of the floor. The Bulls also already had a player's meeting, and there's more and more rumblings of a possible fire sale. Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and others are popping up in trade rumors. The Bulls are a complete mess right now and not a team I'm looking to back in the favorite role regardless of opponent. Give me the Jazz and the points.
