UTA Jazz -11.5 vs. CHI Bulls

After their first loss in more than three weeks, the Utah Jazz look to win their fourth straight game against the short-handed Bulls when they open their two-game season series on Friday night.

Chicago will miss most of their important players like: B. Gordon, L. Deng and K. Hinrich. So Jazz who is leading the Northwest Division will surely want a win here against a team that hasn't too many guys to rely on. You could say that Chicago's away record, 10-16, is not too bad but if we look at Utah's record at home, 21-3, we can see that they are the second team in the league when they are playing at EnergySolutions Arena.

So after this short preview I think you agree with me that 12 points could be few in this circumstances.
