Utah Jazz vs Milwaukee Bucks Best Bet: Friday, March 24th

We finally snapped our losing streak with a player prop win last night in the Brooklyn vs Cleveland game. But we move on right away with another one in tonight’s 10-game slate. A lot of games to bet on, but the bet that caught my eye is Jrue Holiday’s 4.5 line on rebounds. There is some nice value here, so read the article below for my best bet & analysis.

Utah Jazz vs Milwaukee Bucks Preview

Fri, Mar 25th. 01:00 (UK time)

The Utah Jazz are getting on my last nerve. No seriously. We backed them to cover against the Blazers on Wednesday, and they went ahead and committed 17 turnovers and lost by 115-127. That’ll do it alright. But that’s basketball for you, and we’re right back to put them on another ticket knight against the Milwaukee Bucks. Everything we said last time still stands, the Utah Jazz can be a very good team when they want to be. They are due to bounce back and I expect a better performance from them tonight. Lauri Markennen, Colin Sexton, Rudy Gay and Jordan Clarkson are out for tonight’s game.

That said, the Jazz are one of the fastest teams in the league at the moment, ranking 7th in pace rating and attempting 92 field goals per game. They are averaging 119.0 points per game at the moment on a mediocre 47.0% -field goal percentage. The Jazz don’t have the most efficient offence in the league, but that’s okay because that can only help our cause. All we need the Jazz to do tonight is push the pace, shoot and miss on occasion.

The Milwaukee Bucks are the top team in the NBA at the moment, boasting a 52-20 record and sitting atop the Eastern Conference. They have a 2-game cushion above the Celtics but are still putting in a lot of effort to win their remaining games and secure the 1st seed. The Bucks have won 7 of their last 10 games and are on a 2-game winning streak. They just got done pummeling the SPurs by 130-94 at home and are embarking on a 4-game road trip. They are 22-13 on the road this season as well as 18-14-3 ATS. Khris Middleton is listed as out for this game due to a knee injury, as well as Goran Dragic, Jae Crowder and Meyers Leonard.

The Bucks are the 2nd-fastest team in the league at the moment with a 103.3 pace rating and 103.2 possessions per game. They attempt 88.0 field goals per game but their offence is very efficient with a 52.5% field goal percentage. They don’t crash the offensive glass very often but their defensive rebounding has been tight, ranking 7th in the league in defensive rebounding percentage.


Utah Jazz vs Milwaukee Bucks Best Bet

Long gone are the days when we thought Jrue Holiday would be a superstar in the NBA, but he has made a very solid career for himself nonetheless. Holiday is averaging 19.0 points, 7.3 assists and 5.0 rebounds per game for the Bucks this season.

The total rebounds line for Holiday is set at 5.5 and I see some nice value here. I expect this to be a very fast-paced game with a lot of scoring and a lot of missed shots. This should allow Jrue to at least reach his season average of 5 rebounds.

  • Selection: Jrue Holiday Over 3.5 Rebounds
  • Best odds: 1.98 (Fanduel)
  • Stakes: 3/10

Odds as of 20 pm March 24th 2023. Odds may now differ.
