NBA Betting Trends
Utah
The Jazz are 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games. Utah is 1-4 ATS in its last five games versus the Eastern Conference.
Milwaukee
The Bucks are 0-4 ATS in their last four games versus the Western Conference. The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings.
Prediction:
Utah does not know if it will have Gobert available tonight, which would be a major blow. But the Jazz do have a fantastic history against the Bucks as they have covered 26 of the last 34 meetings. Milwaukee is tough of course, but the Jazz play good defense even without Gobert manning the middle and if Mitchell or Bogdanovic get hot they can keep up with anyone. I'll take the points here with Utah.
