Milwaukee Bucks vs Utah Jazz Injury Report

The Utah Jazz will be without Taylor Hendricks, Johnny Juzang, and Cody Williams. Walker Kessler, John Collins, and Jordan Clarkson are questionable.

AJ Green and Bobby Portis are out for the Bucks. Khris Middleton and Tyler Smith are questionable. Giannis Antetokounmpo is probable despite a knee issue.

Milwaukee Bucks vs Utah Jazz Prediction

The Milwaukee Bucks are more than capable of blowing the doors off the Jazz like they did back in November when they won by 23 points. The problem is the Bucks have some injuries with Portis out and potentially Middleton. The Bucks have also had issues as a big favorite, which includes a 3-5 ATS record in their last eight games as a favorite of seven or more points. The Utah Jazz are starting to get guys back from injury and could get a big boost if Collins and Clarkson are cleared. The Jazz have also covered seven of their last 10 games. Not the best game on a loaded NBA Monday, but give me the Jazz and the points if forced to pick.
