1.88Tip and bets
Milwaukee has had a terrible start to the season. And Utah, too. However, the Bucks' start can also be called a sensational failure. They lost to the championship leader in their previous match. It high time to return to the tournament. Doc Rivers' team will have to win against a weak opponent with the loud support of their fans and finally break the protracted losing streak.
Our prediction is a Milwaukee victory with a handicap of (-8.5) points, including overtime, at 1.76
Bet on individual total
Milwaukee will put almost the strongest lineup on the court. With all the leaders on the court, the team from Wisconsin does not show very high efficiency. The average score is 111.7. And in home games it is noticeably higher - 117.6. And this time Rivers' charges will be able to decently load the basket of not the strongest opponent.
Our prediction is Milwaukee individual total is over 120.5 points including overtime for 1.96
Bet on the first half
The Milwaukee basketball players are not in a very good mood after an unsuccessful trip to Cleveland. The Bucks, no doubt, will try to achieve victory. The players of the team from Wisconsin will show who is the main one on the court of the Fairserve Forum stadium from the first minutes of the match and will seize the initiative.
Our prediction is Milwaukee win in the first half of the game at 1.36
