Game Preview

The Milwaukee Bucks are facing a tough start on the road, with four of their first five games away, including matchups against the Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics. Now, they look to end a three-game skid as they face the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday night.

Despite the challenging schedule, Bucks stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard continue to put up impressive numbers, averaging 28.8 and 28.0 points per game, respectively.

Coach Doc Rivers has also praised Brook Lopez for his steady contribution, indicating the Bucks might lean on him more to turn things around.

Meanwhile, the Grizzlies have had their own struggles, recently dropping back-to-back home games. On Monday, they let a 20-point lead slip away to the Chicago Bulls, falling 126-123, and injuries have added to their woes.

Starters Marcus Smart and Desmond Bane left Wednesday’s loss to Brooklyn due to injuries, pushing Memphis to rely on its depth, including rookie big man Zach Edey and a strong performance from Brandon Clarke.

Coach Taylor Jenkins remains optimistic, calling for a stronger defensive effort and leadership to take on Milwaukee.

With both teams desperate for a win, Thursday’s matchup promises plenty of betting intrigue, with the Bucks looking to capitalize on Memphis’s recent defensive lapses and the Grizzlies aiming to hold their own at home despite injuries.
