Utah Jazz vs Chicago Bulls (01-14-2026) game preview: When and where to watch, expected lineup, injury report, prediction, and more

The Utah Jazz, led by Lauri Markkanen, have had a crazy run of games lately. On Monday night, they shocked the Cleveland Cavaliers after falling by 55 to the Charlotte Hornets. Utah will now play the Chicago Bulls, who are coming off a road loss to the Houston Rockets on Tuesday.

Due to Josh Giddey's recent absence, Chicago is once again appearing to be an Eastern Conference fringe play-in tournament club. The Jazz, on the other hand, have performed better than anticipated, which may be a challenge if they wish to retain their top eight protected pick.
