Shorthanded Jazz Host Bulls
The Utah Jazz play host to the Chicago Bulls at Delta Center on Wednesday evening.

The Jazz (28-34) ended a three-game slide with a win in their last outing, and they hope to stay on track with a chance to add to their, 19-11, home record. Unfortunately, they continue to deal with injury trouble, as Keyonte George (illness) is listed as questionable for action, while Taylor Hendricks (toe), Walker Kessler (foot) and Lauri Markkanen (quadriceps) remain sidelined. On the bright side, Collin Sexton is playing well, averaging 21.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 5.9 rebounds and 1.4 steals over the last 10 games. Jordan Clarkson is also coming off a couple big games, including 38 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists and a steal in the last outing. John Collins averages 14.4 points, 8.5 rebounds and 0.9 blocks per game.

Meanwhile, the Bulls (29-32) have won two of their last three games and look to keep the momentum going as they face the second game of a four-game road trip with the opportunity to improve on their, 13-17, road record. DeMar DeRozan leads the team, averaging 22.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.1 steals on the season. Coby White is averaging 19.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 5.3 assists, while Nikola Vucevic is averaging 17.7 points, 10.7 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. Ayo Dosunmu has also been stepping up his game lately, averaging 17.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.6 steals over the last five games.
