The Utah Jazz travel to Wisconsin to take the court against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Jazz have been playing well. Winning six of their last eight games.

Last season, both teams took the court against each other three times. The Jazz swept the season series, 3-0. Utah won their most recent meeting 121-108 this year in Utah.
Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz are a .500 ball club right now. A lot of the Jazz recent wins have to do with the play of rookie, Donovan Mitchell Jr. His play has propelled him into the rookie of the year conversation. Donovan is averaging 17.5 points and started 18 games this year.

Defensively, the Utah Jazz are allowing 99 points per game this season. Good enough for fourth in the NBA. The length and athleticism of the Jazz lineup has a lot to do with why the team is so good on defense. Rudy Gobert is averaging 2.3 blocks per game this year.
With Gobert protecting the rim, and Mitchell playing light’s out recently, the Jazz could get ready to start another streak.
Milwaukee Bucks

Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks in scoring in the first game against the Jazz. He had 27 points and 13 rebounds. Milwaukee shot 53 percent from the floor and 38 percent from three point range. Turnovers were a big factor for the Bucks. They had 17 in the loss at Utah.
