Kyle Filipowski (Utah Jazz) Under 15.5 Points + Assists (-130)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the Jazz hit the road to face the Bucks this Sunday, all eyes will be on Kyle Filipowski. The typically high-octane player has shown a tendency to cool off on away games. Over his last five treks, Filipowski's contributions have dwindled to an average of 11.8 points and a meager 2.2 assists. There's something about Milwaukee's air that seems to stifle Filipowski further. His last five encounters with the Bucks have seen him net a paltry average of 3 points, with his assists count halved. Away from Utah, his numbers against Bucks are virtually non-existent. When you consider these stats, coupled with his recent hit rate of 4 out of 4 unders on the road, it seems prudent to expect Filipowski to clock in under 15.5 combined points and assists. So, come Sunday, don't be surprised if Filipowski's usually fiery performance fizzles just a bit in Brew City.

Milwaukee Bucks vs Utah Jazz : Utah Jazz 12.5 (-110)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Despite the Utah Jazz's recent slump on the road, with a 1-4 record in their last five away games, consider their ability to keep games close. They only trail the Milwaukee Bucks' L5 average team score by a mere point (115.2 to 116.2). Now, the Bucks have been slightly better at home (3-2), but their average score against (113.4) is dangerously close to the Jazz's scoring prowess on the road (116.4). Also, the Bucks have had the upper hand in recent head-to-head matchups (2-0), but a 12.5 point spread seems a touch generous. The Jazz's tenacity, coupled with the Bucks' leaky home defense, points towards a potentially tighter contest. Betting Utah Jazz on a 12.5 point spread is an endorsement of their ability to bounce back and keep the game tighter than the spread suggests.

Bobby Portis (Milwaukee Bucks) Over 13.5 Points + Assists (-125)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the Milwaukee Bucks and Utah Jazz clash this Sunday, all eyes should be on Bobby Portis. This Bucks' powerhouse has been proving his mettle on the home court recently. He's been consistently hitting the mark, averaging 13.4 points and a solid 2.2 assists in the last five home games. That's just shy of the over 13.5 we're eyeing. But here's the kicker - Portis' performances against the Jazz have been even more impressive. He's averaged a whopping 16.2 points in their recent showdowns, and at home, that number nudges up to 16.3. Sure, his assists drop a touch against the Jazz, but his scoring prowess more than compensates. With a 6 out of 9 hit rate at home, Portis is certainly in his comfort zone. So, come Sunday, expect Portis to surpass that 13.5 mark, making the over a winning bet.
