Who won the last time they played?
The Bucks hosted the Jazz early on in the season in only their 7th game of the season at the Fiserv Forum. Giannis led the team with 25 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists. Likewise, his brother, Thanasis Antetokounmpo also put up 10 points and 9 rebounds. Grayson Allen aided the Antetokounmpo brothers’ charge with 18 points and 6 rebounds.
However, the Bucks efforts were futile as the Jazz guards combined for 48 points to bury the Bucks. Donovan Mitchell’s 28 points and 4 rebounds, alongside Mike Conley Jr.’s 20 points and 3 rebounds with 2 assists each helped the Jazz to their 5th win of the season.
Utah Jazz vs Milwaukee Bucks prediction
The Bucks are playing some of the best basketball they have played all season and will fancy a win in Utah. The Jazz will struggle if the 3-time Defensive Player of the Year, Rudy Gobert, is not cleared to play the game. The rest of the team will be shorthanded and have to shoulder the burden of containing 2-time MVP, Giannis Antetokounmpo.
And they will fall short. Giannis and co will take care of business and grind out a win against the Jazz.
