Jazz at Bucks picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 117, Jazz 113

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value betting on Milwaukee (-375), which is 16-3 at home, to beat a Utah team that is 6-15 on the road.

Against the spread

BET JAZZ +8.5 (-110).

With the Bucks missing Lillard on Monday night, they will be without a key piece of their offense which will allow the Jazz to stay within reach. Utah has played well recently with a 7-3 straight-up and ATS record in their last 10 games. The Bucks are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10.

Due to Milwaukee's recent woes, losing 2 of its last 3 on the road, and the absence of Lillard, if you are feeling lucky, it could be worth a half-unit play to bet on the Jazz ML at +290 for more profit.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 242.5 (-110).

The Jazz have hit the Under 5 of their last 6, including back-to-back games. They have also hit the Under in their last 3 road games. Milwaukee has hit the Under in 4 of their last 5 and each of their last 2 and with Antetokouunmpo having to carry a majority of the offensive load, will be lacking its usual fire power to hit the Over.
