Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the NBA match.
The Milwaukee Bucks have frankly had a rocky start to the season, managing just one win in their initial four games and currently enduring a three-game losing streak. They will wrap up their road series against the Memphis Grizzlies, who are gradually finding their form.
Memphis Grizzlies
The Grizzlies are striving to rediscover their form following a completely disastrous last season. They are grappling with enormous defensive issues, conceding an average of 121.6 points per game, ranking them 29th in the league. However, the Grizzlies perform decently in offence, averaging 117.7 points per game, which is fifth-best in the league.
Milwaukee Bucks
Doc Rivers has yet to unlock the potential of this roster. The Bucks ended last season poorly and have started the current one equally unconvincingly. The primary issue lies in their defence, which is the 23rd in the league in terms of reliability, allowing an average of 119 points per game. Meanwhile, the offence isn’t producing as expected, averaging just 114 points per game.
Memphis Grizzlies vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
It's difficult to predict who will come out on top, as both teams are far from their best forms. However, it's important to note that this is a matchup between two sides with some of the poorest defensive stats, yet with fairly strong offensive capabilities. Most likely, this game will turn into a scoring shootout, so we suggest betting on the total points.
