The Milwaukee Bucks (33-17; 19-31 ATS) are coming off Sunday’s 123-108 defeat at the Utah Jazz. It was their third loss in four games, and the Bucks will try to get back on the right track in the final outing of their five-game road trip.
Milwaukee was a 2.5-point underdog at Delta Center in Salt Lake City, as the Bucks missed Khris Middleton (knee) and Brook Lopez (personal). The Bucks blew a 15-point second-half lead and were outscored 40-13 in the fourth quarter. Giannis Antetokounmpo led Milwaukee with 33 points and 13 rebounds, and Bobby Portis had 27 points and seven boards.
“I don’t think it was the energy, I think we need to make shots,” Antetokounmpo said. “It was a lot of wide-open shots that we didn’t make. You make one or two, the momentum stops, and it’s a whole different game.”
Giannis spin. Giannis slam.
