Milwaukee Bucks vs Utah Jazz Injury Report

The Jazz will be without Taylor Hendricks and Jordan Clarkson, while Lauri Markkanen and Isaiah Collier are probable. The Bucks will be without Khris Middleton, while Giannis Antetokounmpo is questionable.

Why the Milwaukee Bucks will win

  • The Jazz have lost each of their last six road games against opponents who are on the first leg of a back-to-back.
  • The Bucks have won nine of their last 11 home games against Northwest Division opponents that held a losing record.
  • The Jazz have failed to cover the spread in each of their last four road games against teams that held a losing record.
  • The Bucks have covered the spread in three of their last four home games following a loss.

Total Points Facts

  • Each of the Bucks’ last four games at Fiserv Forum following a road loss has gone UNDER the total points line.
  • Each of the Jazz’s last four road games following a road win has gone OVER the total points line.

Milwaukee Bucks vs Utah Jazz Prediction

The Utah Jazz have been terrible this season, and they don’t cover numbers, but the Milwaukee Bucks have been arguably the most disappointing team in the league. The Bucks can’t finish games, they don’t defend, and rumors continue to swirl that trades could be coming if things don’t improve. It doesn’t help, that Antetokounmpo is still dealing with a thigh issue and is questionable. This line is nuts, especially with the Jazz expected to get back Collier and Markkanen. Give me the road dog.
