Milwaukee Bucks vs Memphis Grizzlies prediction
The Memphis Grizzlies played yesterday, and they’re obviously at a talent disadvantage given the injuries. The Milwaukee Bucks have the ability to blow the doors off here. However, the Bucks have been big favorites all season, and they’re 21-33-1 ATS on the season. You’ve made some nice coin just blindly fading a Bucks team that doesn’t play a lick of defense. The Bucks have failed to cover 6 of their last 9 games. And while the rosters are different, the Grizzlies have won 5 of the last 7 meetings against the Bucks. Bottom line is I’m not laying big numbers with the Bucks. Give me the Grizzlies.
