Milwaukee Bucks Vs. Utah Jazz: Odds, Predictions, Player Props And Best Bets For January 8th

The Utah Jazz travel to Fiserv Forum to take on the Milwaukee Bucks tonight.  The last time these two opponents matched up was last season, where the Bucks were able to pull out the win on the road with a score of 144-116.

Utah Jazz vs Milwaukee Bucks Spread Set at 8.5, Over/Under 242.5 Total Points

The spread for tonight’s matchup is set at 8.5 points.  Star point guard Damian Lillard (personal reasons) and Cameron Payne (concussion protocol) have been ruled out for tonight’s contest, which has shifted the line in Utah’s favor.  The Bucks have defeated the Jazz in the last 3 contests versus one another and Milwaukee is 16-2 on the season at home.  Utah is 6-15 on the road, but are 7-3 against the spread in their last 10 games.

In the last 4 games versus these two opponents, they have only hit the over 242.5 total points line one time.  The Jazz have gone under their total points line in 5 of their last 6 games and the Bucks have gone under in the only two games without Damian Lillard this season.  Under 242.5 total points holds value in tonight’s matchup.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 35.5 Points (-140 on FanDuel Sportsbook)

Giannis Antetokounmpo has been on fire offensively these past two games averaging 46 points and 15.5 rebounds.  With Damian Lillard out for tonight’s contest, Antetokounmpo will have to continue his offensive dominance and the Jazz give up the third most points in the NBA to power forwards.  Which makes over 35.5 points my best bet of the contest.

Malik Beasley Over 2.5 Three-Pointers Made (-125 on Draft Kings Sportsbook)

While Malik Beasley has seen a dip in minutes the past 3 games, he will also have to step up due to both of Milwaukee’s point guards being inactive for tonight’s contest.  The Jazz give up 3.71 threes per game to opposing shooting guards and Beasley shoots over 41 percent from behind the arc at home this season.

Collin Sexton Over 17.5 Points (-120 on FanDuel Sportsbook)

Collin Sexton has benefited from becoming a starter for Utah, averaging 19.1 points and 5.1 assists in his last 10 games and is coming off a double-double performance versus the Philadelphia 76ers.  The Bucks give up the third most points in the NBA to opposing shooting guards, which favors Sexton’s 17.5 points line to go over in tonight’s matchup.

Coverage for tonight’s contest will begin at 8:00 PM Eastern time streaming live on NBA League Pass.
