The recently struggling Utah Jazz take on the Chicago Bulls tonight. While the Bulls and Jazz are relatively close to each other in the standings (Jazz are 1.5 games behind), the trajectory of both teams this season are in opposite directions. The Jazz are 5 games out from the Play-In Tournament, traded 3 rotation players for future draft compensation, and have real incentive to lose to retain their lottery pick. The Bulls are the 9th seed in the East and have made roster decisions that indicate a desire to compete now. These differences have resulted in the Bulls being 5-5 the last 10 games while the Jazz are just 2-8 (with the two wins being against each Conferences worst team).
