Bucks vs. Grizzlies NBA Betting Prediction
Both the Bucks and Grizzlies come into tonight’s game playing good basketball. Both teams are also mostly healthy. The Bucks will only be without Jordan Nwora, while the Grizzlies will be short Grayson Allen. Of course, Jaren Jackson Jr. continues to be sidelined for Memphis as well.
One interesting note on Memphis this season is that they have played better on the road. The Grizzlies are an uncharacteristic 7-10 straight up in the Grind House this season, compared to 9-5 on the road. This seems like a trend that will reverse itself in the second half of the season. Perhaps that starts tonight against a veteran Bucks team that is undoubtedly ready for the All-Star break. After dropping 35 points against the Wizards on Tuesday, look for another big game from Ja Morant to close out the first half of the season. Memphis plus the points at home is an enticing NBA betting option.
