The Milwaukee Bucks want to continue on their way to the top of the NBA and for that, they will have to beat the Utah Jazz, who are fighting to stay in the postseason zone.
The Bucks continue as the second-best team in the NBA, very close to the Celtics and with one game less, so they expect to finish this week in the first place.
For their part, the Jazz occupies the last place in the Western Conference qualifying for the play-in, but seek to continue rising and not see their move to the next phase in jeopardy.

Where Can I Watch it?
Why Bet on Milwaukee Bucks
The Milwaukee Bucks season is magnificent. They have 20 wins and 7 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference (and in the entire NBA), a half-game behind the Boston Celtics. This Tuesday they returned to victory after a setback against the Houston Rockets and beat the Golden State Warriors 128-111.
Giannis Antetokounmpo shone again and achieved a double-double by scoring 30 points and collecting 12 rebounds, as well as giving 5 assists. Bobby Portis was not far behind and also had a double-double with 25 points and 11 rebounds. In addition, the defense managed to nullify Stephen Curry, who had a low offensive production.
The Greek forward has the fifth-best point average in the NBA with 29.8 per game, while center Brook Lopez is the one who has achieved the most blocks throughout the season (73), with an average of 2.9 per game and achieving 16 more than the second on the list.
Although the Bucks have been one of the best teams and, together with the Celtics, who have lost the fewest games (7), they do not discriminate whether it is at home or away, since almost half of their defeats (3) have been at his house. The most recent was on December 2 against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Why Bet on Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz won again this Tuesday after 2 losses in a row and defeated the leaders of the Western Conference, the New Orleans Pelicans, by 121-100 in what was a good night for several of their players and there was not a star featured.
Three players left with a double-double that night: Jarred Vanderbilt (5th this season) with 18 points and 14 rebounds, Lauri Markkanen (11th this season) with 19 points and 11 rebounds, and Walker Kessler (4th this season), who was on the bench, and had 11 points and 16 rebounds (a new personal high).
Jazz has a record of 15 wins and 14 losses and is in the tenth position in the Western Conference, currently occupying the last spot for the Play-Ins.
Something negative that the Utah quintet has for this Saturday is that they lost their last 4 away games and 6 of the last 7.
Final Betting Analysis: Milwaukee Bucks vs. Utah Jazz
It will be a very good duel, however, the Milwaukee Bucks are one of the best teams of the season, they have only lost 7 games and have a great Giannis Antetokounmpo, while the Utah Jazz is in the middle of their conference table, and as a visitor they have done very badly, losing their last 4 games and 6 of the last 7. That is why we believe that the Bucks will be the winners.
The last time they met was on March 14 of this year and the Bucks won on the road 117 to 111 Giannis had 30 points, 15 rebounds, and 4 assists.
Go for a straight win for Milwaukee Bucks in the Moneyline.
