It’s time for the Milwaukee Bucks to head over to Memphis. Their past adventures to this location haven’t been the best. They lost their last two games at the FedExForum by rather hefty margins.
In their previous match in April 2023, the Grizzlies claimed a win. This is in part due to Jared Jackson Jr, who scored a total of 36 points. Meanwhile, Bucks’ Lindell Wigginton made 25 points, however, this wasn’t enough to close the gap.
With that being said, both teams are in totally different form for the 23/24 season. Here are a few of the best picks to look out for in the game:
Bet 1 – Bucks Money Line
Although the Milwaukee Bucks don’t have the favour in terms of H2H between the two teams, recent form swings to their advantage. They have recorded wins over The Hornets, The Pelicans, and The Mavericks in recent weeks.
Adversely, the Grizzlies appear to be in a bit of a rut. They haven’t been faring well lately, albeit against some of the best in the NBA. They’ve had some tough losses, like a close 110-118 to The Bulls and a hefty 131-91 mauling at the hands of The Celtics.
Bet 2 – Bucks -9.5
This bet comes with the same reasoning as the one mentioned above. Bucks tend to be involved in games that feature large handicap swings, which makes the -9.5 betting option look like good value.
Most of their previous meetings have also appealed to handicap bettors, with final scores being:
- Bucks 114 – 137 Grizzlies (08.04.2023)
- Grizzlies 141 – 101 Bucks (16.12.2022)
- Grizzlies 127 – 102 Bucks (27.03.2022)
Bet 3 – Total Over 223.5
The last value NBA pick for Memphis Grizzlies vs Milwaukee Bucks is the total being over 223.5. Again, this bet is more based on the Bucks statistics from the 23/24 season, as the Grizzlies have been bang average in terms of the number of points scored across their games.
So far, throughout the season, The Bucks have scored around 120 points per game. Adversely, they have been conceding around 122 per match. This game will likely be full of relentless and aggressive attacking from The Bucks, however, the Grizzlies will get chances to put points on the board.
