Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on January 28. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Utah Jazz

While the Bucks have just started their road stretch, the Jazz have recently completed it. The team played four consecutive games away from home and lost all of them. Utah was defeated twice by New Orleans (123:136 and 119:123 (110:110) in overtime), Oklahoma (114:123) and Memphis (103:125).

In total, the Jazzmen already have five consecutive losses, and Utah is in last place in the Western Conference standings with a 10-33 balance. It is clear that the Jazz do not qualify for anything in the standings, which means they could become one of the top sellers in the trade deadline. So far, for example, the Los Angeles Lakers are definitely aware of interest in center Walker Kessler.

Milwaukee Bucks

The Bucks went on the road, winning five matches in a row. Alternately at home, Doc Rivers' team, demonstrating excellent offensive basketball, beat Sacramento (130:115), Orlando (122:93), Toronto (130:112), Philadelphia (123:109) and Miami (125:96).

Milwaukee failed to extend this excellent streak in the first game of the road trip against the Los Angeles Clippers. Damian Lillard had a triple-double (29 points, 10 rebounds and assists) and Yannis Antetokoumpo scored 36 points and 13 rebounds, but the Bucks were unsuccessful on defense - 117:124.

Overall, Milwaukee has a great balance of wins at the moment - 25-18. In the Eastern Conference standings, they are closing the top-4.
