Utah JazzÂ
The Utah Jazz have been slow starters this season as they had lost their first six games before they stopped the slide with a 135-125 road win over the Bulls on Monday. Keyonte George drained six 3-pointers to lead the team with 33 points and nine assists, John Collins added 28 points on 12 of 17 shooting, Collin Sexton tallied 24 points while Walker Kessler chipped in with 12 points, 16 rebounds, and three blocks. As a team, the Jazz shot 53 percent from the field and 16 of 36 from the 3-point line as they poured in 62 points in the first half, before they exploded for 40 points in the fourth quarter to earn their first victory of the season. The Jazz will meet the Spurs after this game.
Milwaukee BucksÂ
Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Bucks have been in a major slump as they have now lost six in a row after falling painfully short to the Cavaliers in a 116-114 road defeat on Monday. Damian Lillard led the team with 36 points and seven assists on 11 of 22 shooting, Bobby Portis tallied 21 points with 18 rebounds and three blocks, AJ Green scored 21 points off the bench while Brook Lopez chipped in with 13 points, six rebounds, and four steals. As a team, the Bucks shot 48 percent from the field and 17 of 35 from the 3-point line as they played excellent defense in the third quarter to turn a 19-point deficit into an eight-point lead, only to see the Cavaliers respond with a decisive 18-5 run late in the fourth quarter to snatch the game from them in another disappointing finish.Â

- The Jazz have failed to cover the spread in five of their last six night games against teams that held a losing record.
- The Bucks have covered the spread in three of their last four games at Fiserv Forum following a loss.
Total Points Facts

- Six of the Jazz’s last seven games against Eastern Conference opponents have gone OVER the total points line.
Utah Jazz vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
The Jazz are still shorthanded with Jordan Clarkson still ruled out, but they should have Lauri Markkanen back in the lineup,while the Bucks have ruled out Khris Middleton again and they are keeping an eye on Giannis Antetokounmpo who currently holds a questionable status. This is certainly a game where you want to check the lineups before tipoff given how important Antetokounmpo is to the Bucks. With that being said, the Bucks should still have more than enough firepower to get the job done at home, but they are still playing well below their best, so I think the Jazz can hang around and get the cover here.
