Bucks at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 124, Bucks 121

Moneyline

JAZZ (-112).

After fighting back from down 24 points and playing on the road for the last 3 games along with being on the 2nd night of a back-to-back, the Bucks may be exhausted.

Couple that with the Jazz at 16-6 ATS having the best home record in the NBA, and it might be a good night for Utah fans. The Jazz have covered 4 of their last 6 games at home.

Against the spread

PASS.

No need to give points when the bet is the Jazz to win and at the same price.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 246.5 (-110).

This total is just too high. The Bucks are 0-2 O/U in their last 2 games with a total of 245 or higher. They have gone Under in 3 straight as well and in 5 of their last 7. Milwaukee is also on the second night of a back-to-back, so fatigue could factor into its style of play.

The Jazz have gone Under just 2 of their last 5, but are 1-2 O/U in their last 3 games with a total of 245 or higher. This is just a lofty total, and taking the Under is the smart play. Back UNDER 246.5 (-110).
