Bucks Trying To Bounce Back
The Milwaukee Bucks have not won a game in Utah in over 7,000 days, yes, seven thousand days. Milwaukee just can’t seem to get the job done in Utah, and quite frankly, that probably will not change on Monday. With how bad Milwaukee has played in Utah, it’s always tough to ever put money on this Milwaukee Bucks team when they are going up against the Jazz in their home arena.
Milwaukee is also on a West Coast road trip as they started that trip against the Golden State Warriors. Milwaukee lost against the Warriors 122-109. It was a game that Milwaukee’s going to try to flush down the drain as they didn’t do much right at all during the contest. Giannis Antetokounmpo lead the way for this Milwaukee Bucks team as he finished with 31 points and eight rebounds.
The Bucks are going to be coming into this one with the seventh rated net rating, the third-rated offensive rating, and the 16th rated defensive rating.
Utah Looking To Continue Dominance
Whenever the Milwaukee Bucks are coming into town for the Utah Jazz, they have to be feeling pretty confident. Milwaukee does eventually have to win a game in Utah, but doesn’t seem like that’s going to happen anytime soon due to how well the Jazz has played against them in their home arena in the past.
Utah is once again one of the better teams in the NBA this season as they are 42-25. They’re going to be coming into this one after an impressive win against the Sacramento Kings where they were able to put up 134 points. In Utah’s most recent game against the Kings, they were able to get a huge night out of Jordan Clarkson as he finished with 45 points.
On the season, Utah has the third-rated net rating, the number one rated offensive rating, and the 15th rated defensive rating.

Free NBA Picks — Bucks vs Jazz
For this game, I’m going to have to go with the Utah Jazz to win outright. The Milwaukee Bucks are a team that can beat anybody in the world at any given moment, but considering Milwaukee has not won a game in Utah in over 7,000 days, I have to go with the trend here and say that Utah is going to win this game outright.
I also like Donovan Mitchell to score 25-plus points in this one because Milwaukee has done a bad job all season of guarding the 3-point line. I think that he’s going to be able to put a few 3-pointers in the net during this one and that he’s going to at least score 25 points.
