The recently in trouble Utah Jazz take on the Chicago Bulls This evening. While the Bulls and Jazz are relatively close to each other in the standings (the Jazz are 1.5 games behind), the two teams’ trajectories this season are in opposite directions. The Jazz are 5 games out of the Play-In tournament, traded 3 rotation players for future draft compensation, and have real incentive to lose to keep their lottery pick. The Bulls are the 9th seed in the East and have made decisions that indicate their desire to compete now. These differences have resulted in the Bulls being…
