Preview-

Utah Jazz will be playing a series of five away games in the next eight days, starting with a trip to Milwaukee on Monday. They will be coming into the game on the back of two home victories against the Warriors and the Pelicans.

In their 128-120 win over the Pelicans, Donovan Mitchell returned  37 points along with seven rebounds and five assists. Bojan Bogdanovic contributed with 28 points, five assists and five rebounds.

For the Bucks, last season’s MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo is carrying his form this time around, and will be an important figure in the team throughout the season. He registered a double double in the Bucks last game against Detroit, with 28 points and 10 rebounds.

The Bucks have the 2nd highest scoring offense in the league, while the Jazz have the 2nd best defense in points allowed per game. The Bucks have won seven games in a row now- four of them coming away from home. But Utah will take confidence from the fact that the last NBA game the the Bucks lost was against the Jazz, who have won eight of the last ten games between the sides.
