UTA vs CHI Dream11: As the NBA plunges towards the postseason, the climate in the league is heating up and we have been caught in the intensity as the writers, readers, and fans. The Western Conference has seen the Suns strengthen their grip in the first place and they have built such a huge distance that it doesn’t seem like any other team will come even close. In the East, the Heat is at the top but not so secure like the Suns and one of the teams that have challenged the top-ranking teams in the league is the Chicago Bulls and they will meet the Utah Jazz in this game.
The Jazz has been doing a great job of winning games this season but their winning percentage is considerably down compared to last season. Wing Bogdanovic hasn’t played in some time and the team balance is hurt a bit, however, as long as Mitchell and Gobert play, well, watch out!
On the other hand, the Bulls have seen a decrease in their win percentage too after beginning red-hot, especially since Lonzo Ball has been down. Thankfully, for the Bulls fans, Alex Caruso has returned and it has improved the perimeter defense. However, it is mostly up to DeRozan and LaVine to pull off major wins.

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis
Roster complexion
The Jazz has been fielding a traditional PG, SG, SF, PF, and C lineup for most parts but with the absence of Bogdanovic, the incredible balance has been disturbed. Mitchell and Conley both share playmaking abilities whereas Mitchell is the key scorer in the backcourt. Gobert plays the Center position and he is known for his strong finishes, tough defense, and elite rebounding. Royce O’Neale will be entrusted to hit open looks as the stretch-four. However, it is Jordan Clarkson who is the difference-maker at the one-guard position off the bench, when he has a big night, the team is in a better position to seize the game. Gay, Whiteside, and Danuel House round off the rest of the unit but it is mostly on the above players to eke out something special.
On the other hand, the Chicago Bulls have been fielding a PG, SG, two SFs, and Center lineup. Ayo Dosunmu is starting at one-guard in absence of Lonzo Ball while the main scoring load is upon DeMar DeRozan at the wing and Zach LaVine at the Shooting Guard position. DeRozan has been more playmaking-oriented but it is his mid-range shenanigans that the team needs to field an effective attack. Meanwhile, Nikola Vucevic plays a vital role in the Center position and helps out in terms of rebounding and scoring. Off the bench, Caruso brings elite perimeter defense while Coby White scoops up some big-time isolation scoring from time to time. JaVonte Green, Derrick Jones Jr., and Tristan Thompson have done well as the role players for the team.
