The Milwaukee Bucks are the better team and capable of blowing the doors off, but this is a lot of points to give a Jazz side that's fighting for a spot in the play-in tournament. The Jazz have been competitive all year, and they lose as underdogs by an average of 1.4 points. This is a lot of points to give a team that has something to play for and is at home. I'm rolling with the Jazz and the points.
