Memphis Grizzlies vs. Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview (Grizzly Bear Blues)

The Grizzlies take on Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks as they look to win their seventh straight.

Milwaukee is disciplined and creates a lot of tough matchup problems for nearly every team in the NBA but Memphis is not one of them. The Bucks have the best defensive rating in the association and are top-ten in opponents' fast-break points and opponents' second-chance points. Morant driving into the paint, hoping to draw fouls and make tough finishes will not be enough. The Bucks hold teams to the third-fewest points in the paint, an area Morant and the Grizzlies thrive. While their defense may present problems for the Grizzlies, Jackson and Brooks are two of the best defenders in the league to guard the Bucks’ all-star duo. Jackson will face his toughest test this season, likely tasked with guarding Antetokounmpo for much of the game. He received First Team All-Defense honors last season but this year JJJ is going for the newly named Hakeem Olajuwon Defensive Player of the Year award. He has not played enough games to be considered for the award yet, but Jaren Jackson Jr. Tonight marks the final game of Memphis’s five-game homestand, as the Grizzlies will then travel west for a four-game road trip culminating with their Christmas day matchup with the The Bucks sit at 20-7, the second-best record in the NBA. While his shooting percentages are down from earlier in the season, he has been a leader on both ends of the court and has shown growth in other areas. In his last 12 games, Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging 32.2 points on 54.8 FG%, 10.9 rebounds and 5.3 assists.

NBA Odds: Bucks-Grizzlies prediction, odds and pick - 12/15/2022 (ClutchPoints)

The Milwaukee Bucks visit the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday. We continue our NBA odds series with a Bucks-Grizzlies prediction and pick.

The Grizzlies rank first in both rebound differential and rebound rate. The Bucks have a strong defense but will be without lockdown defender Jrue Holiday. It’ll take a team defensive effort to contain Milwaukee’s offense but on the other side of the ball, the Grizzlies could be in for a major performance. He’s been quiet over the last week, but a date with the Holiday-less Bucks bodes well both for his individual stat line, and Memphis’ chances to cover the spread. Tuesday’s win over Golden State was the best he’s looked all season and being forced into a higher usage rate could be just what Middleton needed to get back on track. They rank seventh in scoring and ninth in offensive rating. The absence of Holiday could be just what wing Khris Middleton needed to get his season back on track. The Grizzlies are 13-12-2 against the spread while 50% of their games have gone over. The Bucks are 15-10-2 against the spread while 52% of their games have gone under. Milwaukee ranks second in points allowed and first in defensive rating. They’re also second in both rebound differential and rebound rate. Especially considering how well Milwaukee’s role players have performed this season, Giannis could be in for a major night from a playmaking standpoint.
