Memphis Grizzlies vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Joseph King | in NBA Predictions
A pair of 12th-placed teams face off Thursday in the NBA as the Memphis Grizzlies host the Milwaukee Bucks at the FedExForum. It’s been a disappointing start to the season for both teams who both came into the year with high expectations. Let’s get right into our prediction on this match!
The Memphis Grizzlies return home on the second half of a back-to-back after a 119-106 road loss to the Nets last night dropped them to below .500.
It was the latest setback in a frustrating start for Memphis who have now dropped three of their last four games. One of the main reasons for their struggles has been the slow start of their superstar Ja Morant.
The Grizzlies are easing Morant back into action and are limiting him to about 25 minutes per game. The 25-year-old has seen his scoring drop to 19.0 points on a poor 42% from the field.
After an encouraging win over the 76ers to open the campaign, Milwaukee would then go on to lose their next three in a row. Most recently, the Bucks fell to a 119-108 away loss to the defending champion Boston Celtics.
This will be the third consecutive road game for Milwaukee, but they have the rest advantage after last playing on Monday.

Our Memphis Grizzlies vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
This is an interesting matchup between two teams who probably should be performing much better than they currently are. The Bucks have decent underlying metrics and should be getting Middleton here, so their results should start to turn sooner rather than later.
As for the Grizzlies, there are some concerning aspects about their slow start. They have the second weakest strength of schedule rating and opponents are tearing them apart from the three-point line. We like the Bucks to score a comfortable win here. Our Memphis Grizzlies vs Milwaukee Bucks prediction: Bucks -5.5 point spread.
