Jazz vs. Bucks Prediction

8 p.m. ET | BSWI

Respected bettors are having a similar impact on Jazz vs. Bucks, but in this instance, it’s the spread catching the eyes of the wiseguys.

Utah is currently a 9.5-point underdog against Milwaukee, though this line did open at +12 and, yup, you guessed it, the reason for the 2.5-point move is due to sharps pounding the Jazz.

While most sportsbooks have settled at Jazz +9.5, the vig does vary, so be sure to shop for the best price possible if taking a position on Utah on Monday night.
