Utah Jazz vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction

The Bucks should obviously be favored, but this line is insane. The Bucks have lost four straight games, which includes a loss to the Bulls and a blowout loss to the Hawks. The Bucks aren’t playing a lick of defense and Giannis is still on a minutes restriction. The Jazz are banged up and not winning but they’re 34-29 ATS on the season. As I’ve said many times before, it’s not pretty, but you can make money backing the Jazz. The Bucks as a double-digit favorite is ridiculous. I’ll gladly take the free buckets with the Jazz.
