Milwaukee Bucks vs Utah Jazz prediction

The Milwaukee Bucks are on the end of a back to back after playing the Mavericks last night, and they spent a ton of energy coming back to win that game. I'm assuming the Bucks could sit some guys for this one, and that's why the line is what it is. Check the injury report before betting. With all that said, I'll still back the Bucks because they're the better team, assuming they have a capable roster on the floor. The Utah Jazz are having a rough week and they still don't play defense. Give me the Bucks, again, if key players still suit up.
