Milwaukee @ Utah
Current Records: Milwaukee 42-26; Utah 42-25
What to Know
The Utah Jazz are 10-3 against the Milwaukee Bucks since February of 2016, and they’ll have a chance to extend that success on Monday. Utah has the luxury of staying home another game and will welcome Milwaukee at 10 p.m. ET March 14 at Vivint Arena. The Jazz are out to keep their nine-game home win streak alive.
Utah netted a 134-125 victory over the Sacramento Kings this past Saturday. Point guard Jordan Clarkson had a stellar game for Utah as he shot 7-for-13 from downtown and finished with 45 points.
Meanwhile, Milwaukee ended up a good deal behind the Golden State Warriors when they played this past Saturday, losing 122-109. The Bucks were down 103-84 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. Milwaukee’s defeat came about despite a quality game from power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, who had 31 points in addition to eight rebounds. Antetokounmpo’s night made it three games in a row in which he has scored at least 31 points.
The Jazz are expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten the Houston Rockets Jan. 19 easily too and instead slipped up with a 116-111. In other words, don’t count Milwaukee out just yet.
