This is an 8* TOTAL on the OVER Bucks/Jazz.

In what could very well be an NBA Finals preview between two of the best teams in their respective conferences, we're expecting a wide-open "shootout," rather than a hard-nosed defensive battle.

Milwaukee will be cautious here, as it just had its four game ATS/SU win streak snapped last time out in a 122-109 setack at the Warriors.

Not the way the Champs wanted to start out their road trip. Here's a big opportunity to bounce back though.

Overall the Bucks average 114.5 PPG (ranked 3rd), while the Jazz average 113.9 (6th). The Jazz are off a big 134-125 win over Sacramento, a victory which snapped a string of four straight games that all went UNDER the number.

I believe Utah carries over that offensive momentum here.

Look for a faster-paced, and ultimately higher-scoring OVER in this one.

Good luck, NP
